Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. Recently, for the past few weeks, it has been noticed that the child seems to be getting fatter, and at the same time, his appetite is very large. He doesn't want to exercise when asked. Question: How to treat the child's obesity and meat-eating well.Doctor's answer:
When a child develops obesity, parents should first try to improve the situation through exercise and diet. They should encourage the child to engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming or jogging. During this period, the child should be given vegetables that are beneficial for weight loss, such as winter melon or pea paste. Avoid giving the child high-fat foods like fried chicken or cakes. Parents should also address issues like the child's unwillingness to exercise or picky eating in daily life. During obesity treatment, parents should provide reasonable care based on the child's condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to visit a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
