Patient's question:
During the pregnancy, we did not have the Down syndrome screening. No one told us that this test was necessary. But after the baby was born, it was obvious that the baby was different from a normal child. We went to a hospital for a check-up and found out that the baby had Down syndrome. So, can mild Down syndrome be cured?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there is no effective treatment for this disease. Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is a congenital defect caused by genetic factors. Currently, there is no effective treatment for this disease. Education and training should be provided to children in the long term. Prevent infectious diseases and various infectious diseases. Use oral vitamin B6, r-tyrosine, folic acid, etc. as early as possible. This can help improve function. Surgery can be performed to correct other deformities associated with it.
