Question
A boy, just 4 years old, this year, I’ve noticed that my child’s weight is much heavier than that of other children. Additionally, he seems to eat without control, preferring to lie down after meals. How should I treat my child’s obesity and picky eating?
Answer
For pediatric obesity, you can start by establishing an exercise regimen and changing your child’s diet. Activities like swimming and climbing slopes can have a very good effect on the symptoms of obesity. During this time, let your child eat some vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green beans. Avoid giving your child fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. Help your child correct the habit of not liking to move or overeating after meals. Parents should keep a close eye on their child’s condition during treatment. In severe cases, treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid blind treatment.
