Patient's question:
Boy, he's already 5 years old. Recently, I've noticed that my child is getting fatter and eating several bowls of rice at one meal. Even when I ask him to exercise, he's reluctant. Please ask: how should a child who is obese and likes meat be treated well?Doctor's answer:
If the child suffers from obesity, parents should start by addressing his exercise and diet. Encourage the child to engage in activities suitable for his age, such as swimming or jogging, and make sure he consumes more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. The child should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Additionally, it is essential to change the child’s habit of disliking exercise, as this can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment for obesity, if the child’s condition is severe, it is necessary to take him to a reputable hospital for proper medical care.
