Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 1 year old. Recently, I've noticed that my child has a lot of meat on his body and eats a very large amount. He doesn't like to go out to play. Please ask: How should obesity and picky eating in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first setting appropriate exercise levels and dietary changes for the child. Parents can encourage activities that promote weight loss, such as jogging or swimming. Additionally, children should be encouraged to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots, while avoiding high-fat foods such as fried chicken and cakes. If a child tends to lie down after eating, parents should help correct this unhealthy behavior. During the treatment of obesity, parents should adjust the treatment plan based on the child's specific condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to seek medical attention to identify the underlying causes and receive targeted treatment.
