Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old this year. I noticed that my child is getting fatter and seems to eat without restraint. He likes to lie down after meals. Please ask: How should the treatment and diagnosis be carried out for obese children who love meat?Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, they can first alleviate the symptoms by increasing physical activity and controlling their diet. Encourage the child to engage in exercises suitable for their age, such as swimming or jogging. Make sure to provide them with more nutritious foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots, while avoiding high-calorie foods like sunflower seeds and burgers. Additionally, help the child overcome unhealthy habits, such as being inactive after meals or being picky about food. During the treatment for obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is important to take them to a reputable hospital for proper medical care.
