Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, attending primary school. Recently, I noticed that the child seems to be getting fatter, and he is also eating more and becoming less active. Please ask: How should childhood obesity with a preference for meat be treated?Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with getting them to love exercise and not be picky eaters. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other sports for the child within their capacity. Give the child more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots. Don't let the child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Also, don't let the child always overeat; encourage them to exercise more. Remind parents that during treatment, if they find the child's condition severe, they must take them to the hospital to diagnose the condition and then treat accordingly.
