Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
The obesity epidemic in children is on the rise worldwide, and it has many complications (diabetes, heart disease, liver disease etc.) Your son needs a detailed evaluation starting from tracking his weight over the past few years, examining his dietary habits, a few basic blood tests to rule out any underlying organic cause (such as lazy thyroid). He then needs to be referred to a dietitian for a comprehensive diet planning. Psychological consultation may also help in case of poor response to dietary intervention.
