Patient's question:
Little girl, currently 3 years old, recently, it has been observed that my child has a lot of meat on her body, and her appetite is very large. When asked to exercise, she is unwilling. Please ask: how should I treat a child who is obese and does not like vegetables?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents need to control the child's diet and increase their physical activity. Parents can encourage their child to engage in sports that are beneficial for combating obesity, such as jogging or swimming. They should also give the child more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots. The child should avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes and macadamia nuts. Additionally, parents should not let their child overeat excessively and should encourage them to exercise more. During obesity treatment, parents should tailor the treatment to the child's specific condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to visit a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
