Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. Recently, I noticed that my child is getting fatter and has a very large appetite. He is also reluctant to exercise when asked. How can I treat my child's obesity and aversion to vegetables?Doctor's answer:
Once a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should first try to change the situation through exercise and diet. Parents should supervise the child to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming, and encourage the child to eat more high-fiber foods, like spinach and carrots. Avoid letting the child consume high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, French fries, and cookies. Help the child correct habits like being inactive after eating or overeating. During the treatment period for obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is essential to take them to a regular hospital for treatment.
