Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, who has started elementary school. Recently, it has been found that my child has a lot of fat on his body and has been eating more lately. He doesn't want to exercise when asked. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity and picky eating be treated.Doctor's answer:
Once a child suffers from obesity, parents should first change the situation through exercise and diet. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming can be done. During this period, let the child eat more foods such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Don't let the child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Also, don't let the child sleep right after eating or lie on the sofa while snacking. If the above methods do not alleviate your child's obesity symptoms during treatment, it is important to visit the hospital promptly to identify the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
