Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. This year, I noticed that he seems to be getting fatter and is eating more recently. He is also very lazy. Could you please advise on how to treat child obesity, especially when the child loves meat?Doctor's answer:
Children may suffer from obesity. Parents should alleviate the condition through exercise and a healthy diet. Arrange activities like swimming and jogging within the child's capacity, and encourage them to eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, etc. Avoid high-calorie, high-fat foods such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. It's also essential to change the child's habit of disliking exercise, as it can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment for obesity, if the above methods do not alleviate the child's symptoms, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly to identify the underlying cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
