Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 1 year old. In this year, I feel that the child seems to be getting fatter and fatter. Additionally, she can eat several bowls of food in one meal. She likes to lie down after finishing her meal. Please ask: How should obesity and picky eating in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
For children with obvious symptoms of obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more physical activity and avoid picky eating. They can start by incorporating aerobic exercises such as jogging, hill climbing, and swimming. During this period, children should be encouraged to consume more cucumbers, tomatoes, kiwis, and other nutritious foods. Fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods should be avoided. Additionally, children should not be allowed to overeat excessively and should be encouraged to exercise more. If a child's condition worsens during the treatment for childhood obesity, parents should seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's guidance for proper treatment.
