Patient's question:
Girl, currently 8 years old. Over the past year, I have noticed that my child is getting fatter and can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. She also doesn't like to exercise. I would like to ask: How can we treat a child who is obese and loves meat?Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has pediatric 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, climbing, swimming, etc. During this period, encourage your child to eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Avoid high-calorie foods like nuts and burgers. Additionally, help your child correct bad habits, such as being inactive after meals or being picky about food. If, during the treatment for your child's obesity, the above methods do not alleviate their symptoms, it is important to promptly take them to the hospital to determine the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
