Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children, and she also eats more food than average children. She likes to lie down after finishing her meals. Please ask: How is childhood obesity treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Once a child suffers from obesity, parents should first change the situation through exercise and diet. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises such as climbing and swimming can be done. Let the child eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Definitely do not let the child touch high-calorie foods such as cakes, potato chips, and cola. In daily life, do not let the child eat snacks in bed or lie down after eating, as these bad habits will also lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the condition is severe, it is recommended that parents first take the child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of obesity in order to provide targeted treatment.
