Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. In recent weeks, I've noticed that he has gained a lot of weight and is eating more lately. He also doesn't like to exercise. I'm asking: How can I treat picky eating and childhood obesity?Doctor's answer:
For children with noticeable symptoms of pediatric obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more physical activity and avoid being picky about food. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming are suitable. Additionally, parents should include more fruits rich in vitamin C in their diet, such as apples and kiwis. Foods high in calories, like cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes, should be avoided. It's important to help children break the habit of being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should promptly take their children to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment. Avoid (Blind treatment).
