Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 7 years old, recently, I noticed, is getting fatter, and her appetite is very big, but she doesn't like to exercise. How should pediatric obesity and a love for meat be treated?Doctor's answer:
For some children with obvious symptoms of obesity, parents should encourage their children to do more exercise and not be picky eaters. They should let the children engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming, jogging, and consume more fruits rich in vitamin C, like apples, kiwis, etc. Make sure children avoid high-calorie foods, such as cakes, chips, and Coca-Cola. If children have a tendency to lie down after eating, parents must help them correct this bad habit. During treatment, parents should closely monitor the child's condition and seek medical guidance for serious cases. Avoid blindly treating the condition.
