Patient's question:
Male baby, already 1 year old. In this year, I've noticed that the child is getting fatter and fatter, and recently, he's become much hungrier. He's also gotten quite lazy. Please ask: How should we treat a child who is obese and dislikes vegetables?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should start by addressing his exercise and diet. They can first encourage the child to engage in aerobic exercises, such as jogging, climbing, or swimming. The child should be given more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots. High-calorie and high-fat foods, such as cakes, nuts, and cookies, should be strictly prohibited. The child's diet must be closely controlled, and he should avoid overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for reducing childhood obesity. If the condition is severe during the treatment for pediatric obesity, parents are advised to take the child to the hospital first to check the underlying cause of the obesity before starting targeted treatment.
