Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old this year. In this year, I found that my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and she can eat several bowls of food in one meal. When I ask her to exercise, she doesn't want to. I ask: What should I do for a child who is obese and doesn't like vegetables?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should first change his symptoms through increasing his exercise and controlling his diet. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming are suitable. During this period, let the child eat more foods such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Do not let the child consume high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, French fries, and cookies. Moreover, help the child to correct bad habits, such as being inactive after meals and picky eating. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the condition is severe, it is recommended that parents first take the child to a hospital for a checkup to determine the cause of obesity and then provide targeted treatment.
