Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. Recently, I've noticed that my child has a lot of meat on his body, and he also eats more food than most children. When I ask him to exercise, he doesn't want to. I would like to ask: What should be done to treat a child who is obese and loves meat?Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase their child's physical activity and control their diet to alleviate the symptoms. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other activities within the child's tolerance. Encourage the child to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach, carrots, etc. Avoid foods high in calories and fat, such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Additionally, do not let the child lie down inactive immediately after meals.During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should take the child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment rather than treatment.
