Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. This year, I noticed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children. Moreover, he can eat several bowls of food in one meal and doesn't like to exercise. I would like to ask: How can we effectively treat picky eating and obesity in children?Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first arrange appropriate exercise and a healthy diet for them. Encourage your child to engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming or jogging. In terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, etc. Avoid allowing the child to consume high-calorie, high-fat foods like cakes, nuts, or cookies. In daily life, do not let the child eat snacks in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these unhealthy habits can also lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, take the child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment in a timely manner and avoid.
