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 experience tremors. What medications are available for treating Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Down syndrome is caused by a congenital chromosomal recombination, and it also has a certain generational inheritance relationship with one's parents. Currently, there is no specific plan in place for treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to prevention work against infectious and communicable diseases, such as bacterial and viral infections. In the early stages, oral intake of substances like vitamin B6, r-tyrosine, and folic acid should be considered, as they may help stabilize one's own functions. When the child grows older, surgery can be performed to correct the condition.
