Patient's question:
Girl baby, just 5 years old. In this year, I feel that my child is getting fatter and fatter. Also, she can eat several bowls of food in one meal. When I ask her to exercise, she is unwilling. Please ask: How should obesity and picky eating in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
When a child's body becomes obese, parents should create an exercise plan and a healthy diet for them. They can start by gradually increasing the amount of exercise the child does, such as jogging, and adding more intensity—like jogging half a lap at a time during regular workouts. Additionally, the child should eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis. The child should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Parents should also address their child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. If the situation is severe during the treatment for pediatric obesity, it is recommended that parents first take their child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of the obesity and then receive targeted treatment.
