Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, and has a normal appetite. There are basically no abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. Does a child with Down syndrome often vomit when eating?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. Furthermore, they have a higher incidence of respiratory diseases during childhood. However, with current medical conditions, this disease cannot be cured, which imposes certain pressure on society and families.
