Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. Recently, he has become fatter and eats more food than most children. Additionally, he is particularly lazy. Please ask: How can children with obesity be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When a child's body becomes obese, parents should create a set of exercise programs and a healthy diet for their child. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing hills or swimming are recommended. During this period, children should be encouraged to eat more foods such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Nuts and hamburgers, which are high in calories, should be avoided. Help the child change habits such as not wanting to move after eating or overeating. If the child's condition is severe during the treatment of pediatric obesity, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
