How to identify if a child has Down syndrome?

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. How can one determine if the child has Down syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

After the baby is born, if there is crying, it is mostly due to lack of sunlight exposure, vitamin D deficiency, or it could be fever caused by cold, or abnormal gastrointestinal contractions leading to severe abdominal pain. Is it Down syndrome? Simply based on these symptoms, it cannot be diagnosed. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a DNA test. Currently, supplement the child with vitamin AD and observe carefully.
