Patient's question:
Boy, he is 8 years old. Recently, I feel that my child is getting fatter and eating more. He likes to lie down after meals. Please ask: How should I treat a child who is obese and dislikes vegetables to see good results?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control their diet and increase their physical activity. They can start by encouraging the child to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging, climbing, or swimming. Additionally, they should eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis. Frying foods and dried fruits should be avoided, as they are high in empty calories and fat. Moreover, children should not be allowed to lie down motionless after meals. If the child's condition worsens during the treatment of pediatric obesity, parents should promptly take them to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
