Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. Recently, I feel that he has a lot of meat on his body, and he's been eating more lately. He's also very lazy. I'd like to ask: How is it best to treat childhood obesity and laziness?Doctor's answer:
If a child has obesity, parents should improve the current situation through exercise and dietary changes. They should encourage the child to engage in sports suitable for their age, such as swimming or jogging, and increase their intake of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Avoid letting the child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as burgers, fries, and cookies. Additionally, it is essential to change the child's habit of disliking exercise, as it can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the child's obesity symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly. Do not blindly trust certain medications.
