Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old this year. In this year, I feel that my child is getting fatter and eats a lot. He doesn't like to go out to play every day. Please ask: How to treat obesity and picky eating in children effectively.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents need to control the child's diet and increase their physical activity. You can first have them engage in aerobic exercises, such as jogging, hill climbing, or swimming. During this period, let the child eat vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and sweet pea puree. Do not let the child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, or cookies. Also, do not let the child overeat frequently and encourage them to exercise more. If, during the treatment of obesity, the above methods do not alleviate the child's symptoms, it is important to promptly take them to the hospital to identify the cause and avoid the condition worsening.
