Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 years old. Recently, I noticed that she has a lot of meat on her body and seems to eat without much restraint. She is also very lazy. I would like to ask: How can I treat a child who is obese and dislikes vegetables?Doctor's answer:
For children with obvious symptoms of pediatric obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more exercise and avoid picky eating. Plan activities like swimming and jogging within the child's capacity, and include foods such as carrots and spinach, which can help reduce obesity. Strictly prohibit children from eating high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. Additionally, do not let children fall asleep or loung on the couch immediately after meals. Remind parents that if they notice the child's condition worsening during treatment, they must take the child to the hospital to determine the underlying cause before proceeding with treatment.
