Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. Recently, I noticed that he seems to be getting fatter. Additionally, he can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. When I ask him to exercise, he doesn't want to. Please advise: How should pediatric obesity and picky eating be treated?Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first arrange reasonable exercise and a healthy diet for them. For pediatric obesity, it is advisable to engage in more aerobic exercises such as climbing and swimming. During this period, let your child eat vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green pea paste. Do not give your child fried chicken, cakes, or other high-fat foods. Help your child correct habits like being inactive after meals or binge eating. If the child's obesity symptoms are severe during the treatment, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly and do not blindly believe in certain medications.
