Patient's question:
A child from a relative's family has been diagnosed with Down syndrome. They are very anxious but don't know what to do. Sometimes the child does some things that are hard to describe, so they wanted to ask, how is Down syndrome treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the baby is diagnosed with Down syndrome after birth, it is a congenital disease that will not return to normal. Because the baby's intelligence will not be the same as that of normal peers. This will affect the quality of life in the future. It requires careful care from adults. Medications such as vitamin B6 should be used early to improve brain function. Other deformities can be corrected through surgery. It is recommended to take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as early as possible. The earlier the treatment, the better.
