Patient's question:
Girl, currently 7 years old. Recently, I've noticed that my child has a lot of body fat and also has a very large appetite. When I ask her to exercise, she's reluctant. Please ask: How can I treat my child's obesity and picky eating effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should first help him change his symptoms through exercise and diet control. Swimming and uphill climbing, for example, are very effective for obesity symptoms. During this period, let the child eat some vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and yellow pea cake. Foods high in calories like cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes should not be given to the child. Additionally, it is essential to break the child's habit of disliking exercise, as this can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly take the child to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
