Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. Recently, he has been getting fatter, and he eats more than most children. He doesn't want to exercise either. What should I do about pediatric obesity and picky eating?Doctor's answer:
Once a child develops obesity, parents should first address the situation through exercise and diet. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises such as hill climbing and swimming are recommended. In terms of diet, children should consume more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and other healthy foods. Children should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Additionally, do not let children go to sleep immediately after eating or snack while lying on the sofa. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment and avoid.
