Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. Recently, I noticed that her body is getting fatter and she can eat several bowls of food in one meal. She usually doesn't like to go out to play. I would like to ask: How can I effectively treat child obesity?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can first involve setting a proper exercise routine and modifying diet. Encourage children to engage in activities suitable for their age group, such as swimming or jogging. Include more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots in their diet, while avoiding high-fat foods such as fried chicken and cakes. Parents should address issues like their child’s reluctance to exercise or picky eating habits in daily life. During the treatment for childhood obesity, if parents notice a severe condition in their child, they should promptly visit a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
