Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. This year, I noticed that my child is getting fatter and eating a lot more. He is also very lazy. Could you please advise on how to treat childhood obesity and a dislike for vegetables?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control the child's diet and increase their exercise. Parents can encourage the child to engage in activities that are beneficial for weight loss, such as jogging or swimming. They should also provide the child with more fruits and vegetables, such as apples, kiwis, and carrots, while avoiding high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. Additionally, parents should not allow the child to binge eat 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 important to seek medical attention to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
