Patient's question:
My little boy is one year old this year. In this year, I noticed that he seems to be getting fatter and eating more food than other children. He doesn't want to exercise when I ask him to. Please ask: if a child is obese and loves meat, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
For some children with obvious symptoms of obesity, parents should encourage their children to do more exercise and avoid picky eating. They can start by gradually increasing the intensity of the exercise during physical activities, such as jogging. For example, instead of running a full circle at once, they can run half a circle and gradually increase the distance. Additionally, children should consume more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis. It is essential to strictly prohibit children from eating high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Moreover, if a child tends to lie down immediately after eating, parents should help them correct this unhealthy behavior. During the treatment for obesity, parents should provide reasonable care based on the child's condition. If the condition is severe, it is crucial to take the child to the hospital to identify the underlying causes and receive targeted treatment.
