Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. This year, he has noticed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children's, and he can eat several bowls of food in one meal. He likes to lie down after eating. Please ask: How should childhood obesity and overweight be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first setting appropriate exercise levels and dietary changes for the child. Encourage activities suitable for their age group, such as swimming or jogging, and incorporate high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots into their diet. Avoid feeding them fried chicken or cakes, which are high in fat. Additionally, prevent the child from lying down inactive after meals. If the condition is severe during treatment, it is recommended that parents take the child to the hospital for a check-up to identify the cause of obesity and then proceed with targeted treatment.
