What should I do if my child is underweight, picky eater, and frequently suffers from upper respiratory infections?

Patient's question:

Physical activities enhance physical fitness, so what should be done if a child is underweight, picky eater, and frequently suffers from upper respiratory infections?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is best to encourage children to participate in sports activities to strengthen their physical fitness. The meals for the children are arranged by the parents, so parents should pay special attention to exposing children to a wider variety of foods as they grow older to broaden their dietary range and make them more accepting of different types of food. Each food has its own advantages and disadvantages. Only a variety of foods can meet the body's overall nutritional needs. Many children prefer candies and snacks. They dislike vegetables and bean products. Some children do not like meat. As a result, the children's nutrition is not balanced, and they may suffer from long-term nutritional deficiencies. This can affect the development of a normal, unbiased, and non-picky eating habit in children. It is very important for parents to set a good example.
