Patient's question:
Doctor, I've recently been hearing people talk about Down syndrome, and I don't understand what Down syndrome is. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of mild Down syndrome are?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome is a congenital disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities. The main symptoms are usually detected by experienced doctors at birth, such as the baby having a distinctive facial appearance, slanted outer corners of the eyes, wide-set eyes, and transverse palmar creases. Children with Down syndrome are often at risk of other congenital conditions, such as heart disease and other deformities. Therefore, mothers must take their children to seek immediate medical attention and treatment to prevent the use of small advertisements for drugs. Proper medication is essential. For parents, it is important to provide their children with enough care and attention, and to do their best to help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
