Patient's question:
My little boy, who is 3 years old, has been getting fatter recently. He's also eating more lately and likes to lie down after meals. I'd like to ask: How should the treatment for child obesity be carried out?Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with making them love sports and not being picky eaters. Encourage them to engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming or jogging, and increase their intake of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Children should avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes and macadamia nuts. Moreover, don't let them lie down and be inactive immediately after eating. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if parents notice a severe condition, they should promptly go to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
