Question
My son is one year old and he’s getting fatter and fatter. He has a big appetite and is lazy. How can I appropriately treat his pediatric obesity when he doesn’t like to eat vegetables?
Answer
For children who are overweight, parents need to control their diet and increase their physical activity. Encourage your child to participate in activities like jogging, swimming, and to eat more fruits and vegetables such as apples, kiwis, and carrots. Avoid high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes, and prevent overeating. During treatment, provide reasonable care based on the child’s condition. In severe cases, seek medical advice to clarify the cause and find appropriate treatment.
