Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. Unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with congenital hypotonia. Knowing that it cannot be cured, I only want to improve her quality of life through rehabilitation training and medication. Please advise: What kind of medication should be used and how should the rehabilitation training be conducted?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Congenital idiocy refers to a disease caused by the trisomy of human chromosome 21 (i.e., having three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the normal two). It is caused by abnormal cell division in the reproductive cells of the mother or father. Down syndrome, also known as 21-trisomy syndrome, is currently without a specific cure. Its treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic management, which can mainly include acupuncture, massage, physical therapy, and PT to improve its intellectual and motor functions.
