How should a daughter with Gaucher's disease be treated?

Patient's question:

How should a daughter with Gaucher's disease be treated? ?? Without medication or injections, how should a daughter with Gaucher's disease be treated? ??

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your child's condition is quite severe, and there are no effective treatment methods. The differences between Type 3 and Type 2 are mainly in the age of onset, with Type 3 generally not causing severe intellectual disabilities, with an IQ around 70, which helps distinguish it from Type 2. The treatment for Type 3 is primarily symptomatic. In cases where children with Type 3 or Type 1 have extremely swollen spleens leading to secondary hypersplenism, a splenectomy may be performed. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and to receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
