Patient's question:
My little girl is 9 years old. Recently, I've noticed that she's getting fatter and eating more than the average child. She doesn't want to exercise either. I was wondering: how can I treat child obesity and picky eating?Doctor's answer:
When a child's body shows signs of obesity, parents should create an exercise plan and healthy diet for them. Aerobic exercises like swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child, and they should be encouraged to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. Fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods should be avoided. Parents should address the child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. If the child's condition is severe during the treatment for pediatric obesity, parents should take them to the hospital promptly for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
