Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old. Recently, it was found that the child seems to be getting fatter and bigger. Additionally, his appetite is very large, and he is particularly lazy. Please ask: How can the treatment of childhood obesity and overweight be most effective?Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first arrange appropriate exercise and a healthy diet for them. Parents should supervise their children in doing aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming. They should eat more high-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes. High-calorie foods like biscuits, macadamia nuts, and small cakes should be avoided. Do not let your child sleep right after eating or snack while lying on the sofa. During the treatment for obesity, if the above methods do not alleviate your child's symptoms, it is important to promptly visit a hospital to identify the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
