Patient's question:
My boy, he is 5 years old. In this year, I noticed that he is getting fatter and fatter, and his appetite is very big. I call him to exercise, but he doesn't want to. Please ask: How should the treatment be for child obesity and picky eating.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control their child's diet and increase their physical activity. Encourage the child to engage in exercises suitable for their age group, such as swimming or jogging. During this period, let the child eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. It is crucial not to let the child consume high-calorie foods, such as cakes, chips, or cola. Additionally, help the child break bad habits, such as being inactive after meals or being picky about food. If the child's condition is severe during the treatment for pediatric obesity, parents should promptly take them to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
