Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 years old this year. This year, I feel that the child is getting fatter and fatter, and at the same time, her appetite is very large, and she doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: How should childhood obesity and picky eating be treated to be most effective.Doctor's answer:
Children are experiencing obesity. Parents should alleviate the symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. They can start by encouraging the child to engage in aerobic activities, such as jogging, climbing, swimming, etc. Additionally, the child should consume more high-fiber foods like spinach, carrots, and nuts. Foods high in calories, such as chips and hamburgers, should be avoided. Nor should the child be allowed to overeat frequently; instead, they should be encouraged to exercise more. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly take the child to the hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
