Patient's question:
Girl baby, just 5 years old, this year, noticed, the child seems to be getting fatter and fatter, and can eat several bowls of rice in one meal, and doesn't like to exercise, please ask: How should childhood obesity and overweight be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should start by addressing his exercise and diet. They can first encourage him to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging, climbing, swimming, and also have him eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. High-calorie and high-fat foods should be strictly avoided, such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. Moreover, if the child tends to lie down after eating, parents must help him correct this behavior. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly seek medical attention to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
