Patient's question:
My young nephew's growth and development are very slow, and he's not growing taller. He went to the hospital for a physical examination and was found to have Down syndrome. What are the main typical manifestations of Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome is also known as trisomy 21 syndrome. The cause is having an extra 21 chromosome, which is triggered by abnormalities during the differentiation of oocytes. The main manifestations are intellectual disability and various deformities of the secondary neurons. Currently, there are no effective treatment measures for this condition. This is not an issue of money. It is that medicine has not yet advanced to the point where it can self-heal this disease. Down syndrome greatly affects children. Once parents notice symptoms in their child, they should promptly take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their child's diet, recommend a balanced diet, and avoid cold foods. It is hoped that the child can receive effective treatment and recover!
