Patient's question:
My son is five years old this year. He is a bit fatter than other children, just a little chubby. I don't usually restrict his diet. Sometimes he has difficulty breathing. I took him to the hospital, and the doctor said he has pediatric obesity with respiratory distress syndrome. How can pediatric obesity with respiratory distress syndrome be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Childhood Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome is caused by long-term energy intake in the patient's body being lower than its internal consumption, leading to excessive accumulation of fat in the body. The weight of the child is significantly lower than that of normal children of the same age and height. Due to the symptoms of weight gain in obese individuals, they often exhibit difficulty breathing, generalized edema, and confusion. It is recommended that patients strictly control their diet. In more severe cases, surgery may be performed to alleviate the condition.
