Patient's question:
My male child, who is 8 years old, has recently been gaining weight and has a very large appetite. He doesn't want to exercise either. How should I treat my child's obesity and picky eating?Doctor's answer:
For some children with obvious symptoms of obesity, parents should encourage their children to do more exercise and avoid picky eating. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming are recommended, and children should also eat more vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Children should not consume high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Moreover, children should not always lie down motionless after eating. During treatment, parents should closely monitor their children's condition and seek medical guidance if the situation is severe. Avoid treatment.
