Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. This year, I feel that my child is getting fatter, and he also eats more food than most children. He doesn't like to go out to play. Please ask: How should children who are obese and love meat be treated?Doctor's answer:
A child has developed obesity. Parents should alleviate his symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. Parents need to supervise the child to engage in aerobic exercises like jogging and swimming. During this period, let the child eat more foods such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Foods high in calories, like cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes, should not be given to the child. Help the child change the habit of being inactive after eating or overeating. If the condition is severe during the treatment for pediatric obesity, it is recommended that parents first take the child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of the obesity and then receive targeted treatment.
