Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 7 years old. In recent weeks, I've noticed that my child has put on a lot of weight and is eating more lately. When I ask her to exercise, she doesn't want to. I'm asking: How to treat picky eating in child obesity?Doctor's answer:
If a child has obesity, parents should address the situation through exercise and dietary changes. They can start by gradually increasing the intensity of the child's physical activities, such as jogging, by running an extra half-circle each time. Additionally, parents should encourage the child to eat more high-fiber foods, like spinach and carrots, while avoiding high-calorie, high-fat foods such as burgers, fries, and cookies. Furthermore, children should not be allowed to lie down motionless after meals. During the treatment period, parents should closely monitor the child's condition and seek medical guidance if the situation worsens. Avoid treatment.
