Patient's question:
Boy, just 9 years old. Recently, it has been observed that the child is getting fatter and seems to be eating without restraint. He usually doesn't like to play outside. Please ask: How should the treatment for pediatric obesity and picky eating be carried out?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first establishing a suitable exercise routine and modifying the child's diet. For childhood obesity, it is beneficial to engage in more aerobic activities such as climbing hills or swimming. Encourage the child to eat more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots. Avoid giving the child high-fat foods such as fried chicken or cakes. Additionally, if the child tends to lie down after eating, parents must help correct this unhealthy behavior. It is advised that during the treatment period, if the child's condition worsens, parents should take the child to the hospital for a proper diagnosis and targeted treatment.
