Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. This year, I noticed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children's. At the same time, he has been eating more recently and doesn't like to play outside as much. Please ask: How should the treatment for childhood obesity and overweight be carried out?Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with making them love exercise and not being picky about food. Let the child engage in sports suitable for their age, such as swimming and jogging, and eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. High-calorie, high-fat foods should be prohibited, such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. Also, don't let the child go to sleep right after eating or lie on the sofa while snacking. During the treatment for child obesity, if the condition is severe, it is recommended that parents take the child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of obesity before starting targeted treatment.
