Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. Is it common for children with Down syndrome to vomit frequently during meals?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome primarily manifests not as dry heaving, but as intellectual disability, a flat nasal bridge, and widened palpebral fissures. Features such as delicate skin and palm connectivity are also observed. Additionally, children with Down syndrome have weakened resistance, and some may accompany congenital heart disease. The incidence of respiratory diseases during childhood is also relatively high. However, with current medical conditions, there is no cure for this disease, which imposes certain pressure on society and families.
