Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children, and at the same time, he has become hungrier lately, enjoying lying down after meals. I would like to ask: How should I treat pediatric obesity and a child's lack of interest in vegetables?Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, they can first increase their physical activity and control their diet to alleviate the symptoms. Activities like swimming and climbing slopes are very effective for reducing obesity. Additionally, they should eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis. Avoid letting them eat high-calorie, high-fat foods like burgers, fries, and cookies. Moreover, it's crucial to change the child's habit of disliking exercise, as this can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment. Avoid treatment.
