Patient's question:
My boy, who is 2 years old this year, has been discovered that his weight is much heavier than other children. Additionally, he can eat several bowls of rice in one meal and doesn't like to exercise. Please advise on how to diagnose and treat child obesity and picky eating.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should first change their symptoms by increasing their physical activity and controlling their diet. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other exercises for the child within their tolerance range. During this period, let the child eat vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and pea yellow. Do not give the child fried chicken, cakes, or other high-fat foods. Moreover, if the child likes to lie down after eating, parents must help them correct this unhealthy behavior. When treating pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should take the child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment and avoid.
