Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. In this year, I have observed that my child is getting fatter and fatter. Additionally, she can eat several bowls of food in one meal and prefers to lie down after finishing her meal. Please ask: How can childhood obesity be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should first alter the symptoms by increasing exercise and controlling diet. Arrange activities like swimming and jogging within the child's tolerance, and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. Avoid giving them high-calorie foods like cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes. Additionally, do not let the child lie down motionless immediately after meals.During the treatment of obesity, if the above methods do not alleviate your child's symptoms, it is important to visit a hospital promptly to identify the underlying cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
