Patient's question:
The child was diagnosed with Down syndrome a month ago. Treatment so far has not shown improvement. Knowing that this is a relatively difficult disease to treat, I would like to ask if Down syndrome can be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome is caused by a congenital chromosomal abnormality. In most patients, an error occurs during the segregation of the 21st pair of chromosomes during hereditary differentiation, leading to extra chromosomes in the nucleus. A small portion is caused by translocation, which makes it untreatable, but they can attend school. However, they are generally not suitable for regular schools. Most major cities have special schools created specifically for these children, primarily to teach them many basic life skills and self-sufficient techniques. You can search online for more information. Down syndrome greatly affects children. Once family members notice the symptoms, they should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to the child's dietary issues.
