Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 2 years old. Recently, I've noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's, and she eats more food than average kids. She also doesn't want to exercise when I ask her to. Please advise: How can I effectively treat a child who is obese and dislikes vegetables?Doctor's answer:
Once a child develops obesity, parents should first change the situation through exercise and diet. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing hills and swimming can be done. Also, children should be encouraged to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach, carrots, etc. Foods like nuts and hamburgers, which are high in calories, should not be given to children. Moreover, parents should help children correct bad habits, such as being inactive after meals and picky eating. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment and avoid treatment.
