Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old this year. This year, I noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's, and she also eats more food than average children. She likes to lie down after finishing her meal. Please ask: How should I treat a child who is obese and doesn't like vegetables?Doctor's answer:
A child has developed a condition of obesity. Parents should alleviate the symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. Parents can encourage the child to engage in sports that are beneficial for weight loss, such as jogging or swimming. During this period, the child should eat vegetables that are helpful in improving obesity, such as winter melon or sweet pea puree. It is essential to strictly prohibit the child from consuming high-calorie foods like cakes or chestnuts. Additionally, parents should help the child correct unhealthy habits, such as being inactive after meals or being picky about food. If the child's obesity symptoms become severe during the treatment, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly and avoid blindly trusting certain medications.
