Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. This year, I feel that my child is getting fatter and eating more food than most children. He usually doesn't like to play outside. I would like to ask: How can I treat child obesity and a dislike for vegetables?Doctor's answer:
Children who are overweight can first increase their physical activity and control their diet to alleviate symptoms. Swimming and uphill climbing are sports that are very effective in reducing obesity. Additionally, they should eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Make sure not to let the child consume high-calorie foods such as cakes, chips, and cola. Also, avoid letting them overeat frequently and encourage them to exercise more. During the treatment period for obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is important to take them to a regular hospital for treatment.
