Patient's question:
Girl baby, just 9 years old, recently in the past few weeks, noticed that the child seems to be getting fatter, and she eats more food than average children. When asked to exercise, she is unwilling. Please ask: How can children who are overweight and don't like vegetables be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
A child has developed obesity. Parents should alleviate the condition through exercise and a healthy diet. Arrange activities such as swimming and jogging within the child's tolerance level, and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Make sure they avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes, chips, and soda. Additionally, it is crucial to break the habit of disliking exercise, as this can lead to fat accumulation. During treatment for obesity, if the above methods do not alleviate the child's symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to investigate the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
