Patient's question:
Boy, just 4 years old. This year, I noticed that my child is getting fatter and is becoming hungrier recently. He doesn't like to play outside often. How can I treat a child who is obese and dislikes vegetables?Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, they can first alleviate the symptoms by increasing physical activity and controlling their diet. Encourage the child to engage in exercises suitable for their age group, such as swimming or jogging. Provide them with more nutritious foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots. Avoid allowing the child to eat high-calorie foods like cakes or macadamia nuts. Additionally, do not let the child lie down motionless after meals.During the treatment of obesity in children, if the above methods do not alleviate the symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
