Patient's question:
Boy, just 4 years old, this year, discovered, my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and recently, he is eating more and more, and is also particularly lazy. Please ask: How can the treatment of pediatric obesity and picky eating be effective?Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, they can first increase physical activity and control their diet to alleviate symptoms. They can start by gradually increasing the intensity of exercise, such as jogging, by running half a lap at a time during physical activity. Additionally, they should consume more fruits rich in vitamin C, like apples and kiwis. It is crucial not to let the child eat high-calorie foods, such as cakes, potato chips, and cola. Moreover, help the child to break bad habits, such as becoming inactive after eating or being picky about food. It is important to remind parents that if the child's condition worsens during treatment, they must take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and targeted treatment.
