Patient's question:
Boys, just 6 years old, recently, found, my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and, appetite is very large, likes to lie down after finishing meals, please ask: How should obesity and picky eating in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
A child has developed obesity. Parents should alleviate his symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. They can start by teaching the child to swim, as the resistance of water is much greater than that of air during land-based exercises, leading to faster fat consumption. In terms of diet, the child should consume more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and similar foods. High-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies should be avoided. Parents should also address the child's unwillingness to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if parents notice the child's condition worsening, they should promptly seek medical attention to determine the underlying causes and receive targeted treatment.
