Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 6 years old. Recently, I feel that my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and it seems she also eats very uncontrollably. When asked to exercise, she is unwilling. I would like to ask: How can childhood obesity and picky eating be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Once a child suffers from obesity, parents should first address the situation through exercise and diet. They can start by encouraging the child to engage in aerobic exercises, such as jogging, climbing, or swimming. Foods like carrots and spinach are also helpful in combating obesity. Fatty fried foods and dry fruits should be prohibited, as they are high in empty calories and fat. Additionally, parents should not allow the child to lie down motionless after meals. If the child's condition worsens during the treatment for pediatric obesity, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
