Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, in primary school. This year, I feel that my child's weight is much heavier than other children's. At the same time, he has been eating more and more recently. I call him to exercise, but he doesn't want to. Please ask: How should I treat child obesity and picky eating well.Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase their child's physical activity and control their diet to alleviate the symptoms. They can start by teaching the child to swim, as water resistance is far greater than air resistance during land-based exercises, leading to faster fat burning. Additionally, they should consume more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis, and avoid giving the child fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. It's also crucial to change the child's habit of disliking exercise, as this can easily lead to fat accumulation. During treatment, parents should closely monitor the child's condition and seek medical guidance if the situation worsens. Avoid treatment.
