Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 3 years old this year. This year, I noticed that she is getting fatter and fatter. Also, she eats more than other children and is very lazy. I ask: how should obesity and picky eating in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
A child has a condition of obesity. Parents should alleviate the symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. Parents need to supervise the child to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming, and encourage them to eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Foods high in calories, such as biscuits, macadamia nuts, and small cakes, should not be given to the child. Additionally, avoid allowing the child to lie down motionless after meals. If the child's obesity symptoms do not improve after following the above methods during treatment, it is important to visit a hospital promptly to identify the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
