Patient's question:
My child was born with Down syndrome. I would like to know if Down syndrome can be treated?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome currently has no effective treatment, but early training and education can promote the intellectual development and physical improvement of infants. The characteristics of Down syndrome include intellectual disability, distinctive facial features such as a low nose, wide-set eyes, small notched eyes, and small ears, often with an open mouth and protruding tongue, accompanied by drooling. More than half of the children suffer from congenital heart disease or cleft lip and palate deformities. Currently, this disease can be screened and diagnosed early during pregnancy, so prenatal care is very important.
