Patient's question:
After getting sick, taking medicine didn't seem to help much, and I still felt uncomfortable. Please ask: What is the price for early treatment of intellectual disability?Doctor's answer:
The most common form of intellectual disability is Down syndrome, also known as mongolism. Individuals with Down syndrome typically have a short, round head, prominent eyes, high-set outer eyes, a wide distance between the eyes, a flattened nose bridge, and their mouth is often kept slightly open. Their tongue frequently sticks out, and they have constant drooling. Due to individual differences, children with intellectual disabilities may exhibit varying symptoms and degrees of severity, requiring careful observation and comparison. Parents should neither panic at the first sign of abnormal behavior, becoming overly anxious and finding fault with everything, nor overlook clear signs of abnormality out of affection, mistaking slow reactions for "good behavior." If there are any concerns, it is best to have the child undergo specialized intelligence testing at a hospital.
