Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child is getting fatter. Additionally, he can eat several bowls of rice at one meal. Even when I ask him to exercise, he doesn't want to. Please ask: How can effective treatment be provided for childhood obesity?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can first involve setting exercise routines and dietary changes for the child. Parents should supervise the child in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming. During this period, encourage the child to consume more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Avoid letting the child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Also, do not let the child overeat frequently and encourage more physical activity. If the child's condition is severe while undergoing obesity treatment, it is essential to take them to a regular hospital for treatment.
