Patient's question:
Girl baby, just 9 years old. In this year, I noticed that the child is getting fatter and can eat several bowls of food in one meal. Additionally, she is particularly lazy. I would like to ask: How can the obesity of young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first setting a movement routine and adjusting the diet for the child. Arrange activities like swimming and jogging within their tolerance level. During this period, let the child consume vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green pea pudding. Avoid high-calorie foods like biscuits, macadamia nuts, and small cakes. Also, prevent the child from going to sleep or lounging on the sofa immediately after eating snacks. If the condition is severe during the treatment of childhood obesity, it is recommended that parents first take the child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of obesity and then receive targeted treatment.
