Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old this year, has been noticed that she is much heavier than other children and eats more food than the average child. She likes to lie down after finishing her meals. I would like to ask: What should be done to treat her obesity and her love for meat?Doctor's answer:
For children with obvious symptoms of obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more exercise and avoid being picky eaters. Arrange activities like swimming and jogging within the child's capacity, and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. Make sure children do not consume high-calorie foods like cakes, chips, and cola. Additionally, help children break bad habits, such as being inactive after meals or being picky eaters. During the treatment of obesity, if the above methods do not alleviate your child's symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
