Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. Recently, I noticed that he seems to be getting fatter and can eat several bowls of food in one meal. When I ask him to exercise, he doesn't want to. Please ask: How should I treat child obesity where the child dislikes vegetables?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first setting a physical activity level and modifying the diet for the child. Swimming exercises, such as swimming and hill climbing, are very effective in alleviating obesity symptoms. During this period, the child should consume vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green bean pudding. It is essential to strictly prohibit the child from eating high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Additionally, avoid allowing the child to indulge in overeating, and encourage more physical activity. Throughout the treatment, parents should closely monitor the child's condition. In severe cases, treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid.
