Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, who has started elementary school. Recently, it has been observed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's. At the same time, he seems to eat without restraint and is particularly lazy. Please ask: How should obesity and picky eating in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
If a child has obesity, parents should change the current situation through exercise and dietary changes. Encourage the child to do exercises suitable for their age group, such as swimming and jogging, and increase their intake of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Avoid giving them high-calorie foods like biscuits, macadamia nuts, and small cakes. Help the child correct the habit of not being active after meals or binge eating. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the child's condition is severe, parents should promptly take them to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
