Patient's question:
The doll has been drooling since birth, and its face appears somewhat deformed. After examination by the hospital doctors, they suspect it may be Down syndrome. The family is very worried. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Down syndrome is a congenital disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Clinically, it is characterized by intellectual disability, delayed physical development, often accompanied by other deformities, and poor immunity. Since it is a chromosomal disease, there is currently no effective treatment. Only active education and training can help children gain certain self-care abilities. Severe cases require lifelong care from family members. Wishing your baby good health.
