Doctor's answer:

If you discover your child has childhood obesity, you should first arrange appropriate exercise and a healthy diet for them. You can start by having them engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging, hill climbing, or swimming. During this period, let them eat some vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon or sweet pea puree. Do not let them eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, or cookies. Additionally, do not let them always lie down after meals and stay inactive. During the treatment of obesity in your child, if the above methods do not alleviate their symptoms, it is important to promptly take them to the hospital to identify the cause and avoid the condition from worsening.
