Patient's question:
My boy, who is 3 years old this year, has recently been gaining more weight, and his appetite is very large. He doesn't want to exercise even when asked. How should I treat obesity and a lack of interest in vegetables in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child suffers from obesity, parents should start with his exercise and diet. Parents need to supervise the child to do aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc. During this period, let the child eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Nuts and hamburgers, which are high in calories, should not be given to the child. Parents should correct the child's unwillingness to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the child's obesity symptoms are severe, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly. Do not blindly trust certain medications.
