Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. Recently, I have noticed that my child has a lot of meat on her body. Additionally, she seems to eat very uncontrolled and doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: How should the treatment for child obesity and overweight be carried out?Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, you can first help them increase their physical activity and control their diet to alleviate the symptoms. You can arrange activities like swimming or jogging for the child. Encourage them to eat more foods such as apples, kiwis, and carrots. Avoid high-calorie foods like biscuits, macadamia nuts, and small cakes. Help the child change their habits of being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment for childhood obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly take them to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
