Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old, and this year, I feel that my child is getting fatter and eating more lately. When I ask him to exercise, he doesn't want to. Please ask: How should I effectively treat a child who is obese and dislikes vegetables?Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase the child's physical activity and control their diet to improve the condition. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming are recommended. Children should be encouraged to eat more foods such as apples, kiwis, and carrots. High-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts should be strictly prohibited. Additionally, the child's habit of disliking exercise must be changed to prevent fat accumulation. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if parents notice a severe condition, they should promptly take the child to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
