Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, who has started elementary school. In the past few weeks, he has noticed that his child seems to be getting fatter, while also eating more recently and being particularly lazy. Please ask: How should the diagnosis and treatment of child obesity who doesn't like vegetables be carried out?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first setting appropriate exercise levels and dietary changes for the child. Parents should supervise the child in performing aerobic exercises such as jogging or swimming, and encourage the child to consume more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. The child should avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes and macadamia nuts. In daily life, parents need to correct the child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits. During the treatment period, parents should monitor the child's condition closely. If the situation worsens, medical treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor, and blind treatment should be avoided.
