Question
My child has been crying and fussy lately, and doesn’t eat much. What should I do if I seek treatment for pediatric obesity?
Answer
The child is quite overweight, gaining weight no matter what they eat, which might indicate good gastrointestinal digestion. Try not to give your child high-fat and high-cholesterol foods. Offer plenty of fruits like apples, bananas, and pears, as well as many vegetables such as cabbage and bok choy. It’s also important to engage in a lot of outdoor activities with the child to burn excess fat. Encourage active participation in sports to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
