Patient's question:
My male child is 7 years old this year. This year, I noticed that he seems to be getting fatter. Additionally, he eats more food than most children and doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity with a dislike for vegetables be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To help your child reduce symptoms of obesity, it's important to arrange reasonable exercise and diet for them. You can start by encouraging activities such as jogging, climbing, or swimming. Additionally, they should eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, like apples and kiwis, while avoiding high-fat foods such as fried chicken or cakes. It's also crucial not to let your child snack in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these unhealthy habits can lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment for childhood obesity, if the condition is severe, it's recommended that parents first take their child to the hospital for a check-up to identify the underlying cause of obesity before starting targeted treatment.
