Patient's question:
Male baby, already 3 years old. In this year, I noticed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and at the same time, he seems to eat without restraint. He likes to lie down after finishing his meal. Please ask: How can obesity and picky eating in children be treated well.Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first setting appropriate exercise levels and modifying the child's diet. Encourage the child to engage in activities suitable for their age group, such as swimming or jogging. During this period, have the child consume vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as watermelon and mung bean pudding. Avoid giving the child high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts or cookies. Additionally, help the child break bad habits, such as becoming inactive after meals or being picky about food. If, during the treatment for childhood obesity, parents notice that the child's condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the underlying causes and receive targeted treatment.
