Patient's question:
The child has always been a bit slow in development, and their physical appearance seems a bit strange. They were diagnosed with Down syndrome. I don't know much about this condition and I'm not sure what specific dangers it might pose? What are the dangers of Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Down syndrome is a congenital genetic disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Clinically, it is characterized by intellectual disability, delayed physical development, a distinctive facial appearance, and is often accompanied by other deformities and poor resistance. Currently, there is no effective treatment for this disease. Children can only gain certain self-care abilities through active education and training, and it is important to prevent infections. Severe cases require family care.
