Is it possible for elementary school students to take diet pills?

Last week, I had an InBody test at the health center with my son who is in elementary school.

 

Height is 141.5 cm, weight is 50.2 kg, with weight above standard and skeletal muscle mass close to below standard.

Body fat mass also exceeds the standard value significantly, so it was measured as obesity.

 

Growth score is 59 points. The nutritional assessment is good, but body fat is excessive.

The obesity analysis chart shows that your body fat percentage is also above the standard.

 

These days, I make them play basketball twice a week and whenever I have free time, I play with a soccer ball.

I tell him to go outside to the playground and run around, but he hates moving because he weighs a lot.

So, I guess my basal metabolic rate also came out very low.

 

Actually, when the child was in lower grades, they couldn't move for several months due to thigh burn treatment, and they gained weight.

Because of COVID-19 as well, I couldn't exercise at all, and as a result, my child became obese.

 

These days, childhood obesity is said to be more concerning, but when I scold my child and tell them to eat less, they just get annoyed.

Complaining is also exhausting.

Your mother-in-law looks healthy because she eats well. She says the children have gained weight and can eat more to grow taller.

I'm really worried when I see the InBody test results.

 

They say that taking herbal medicine suppresses appetite, so if even appetite can be suppressed, I feel like I want to give herbal medicine.

I'm really curious. Is it possible to use traditional Korean medicine to help with weight loss for childhood obesity?
