Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 2 years old. Recently, I have noticed that my child is getting fatter, and at the same time, she can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. When asked to exercise, she is unwilling. Please ask: How can I treat child obesity and a dislike for vegetables?Doctor's answer:
For children with obvious symptoms of pediatric obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more exercise and avoid picky eating. Parents should supervise their children in doing aerobic exercises such as jogging or swimming. During this period, children should consume vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon or mung bean jelly. Children should not eat high-calorie foods like cakes or macadamia nuts. Moreover, if children tend to lie down after eating, parents must help them correct this behavior. During obesity treatment, parents should provide reasonable treatment based on the child's condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to visit a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
