Patient's question:
Boys, just 5 years old, recently, noticed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and at the same time, he can eat several bowls of food in one meal. When asked to exercise, he is reluctant. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity and picky eating be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with getting them to love exercise and not be picky about food. You can arrange aerobic activities like swimming or jogging for the child. During this period, encourage them to eat more cucumbers, tomatoes, kiwis, and similar foods. It is essential to strictly prohibit the child from eating high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Additionally, don't let the child lie down motionless after meals. If the child's condition worsens during the treatment for pediatric obesity, parents should promptly take them to the hospital and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
