Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. Recently, I noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children, and they eat more food than average kids. Additionally, they don't like to exercise. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity and picky eating be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase the child's exercise and control their diet to alleviate the symptoms. Aerobic exercises like swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child. Foods such as carrots and spinach are beneficial in addressing obesity. It is essential to strictly prohibit the child from consuming high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Their diet must be carefully controlled, and they should avoid overeating. Regular exercise is highly beneficial in reducing the child's obesity. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly take them to the hospital to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment.
