Patient's question:
My male child is 4 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children's. At the same time, he can eat several bowls of food in one meal. He usually doesn't like to play outside. Please advise: How should pediatric obesity with a poor appetite for vegetables be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with making them love exercise and not be picky eaters. Parents can encourage children to engage in activities that promote weight loss, such as jogging or swimming. High-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes should be consumed in abundance. It is essential to strictly prohibit children from eating high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Bad habits such as snacking in bed or lying down immediately after eating can also lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should take their children to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment. Avoid.
