Question
A 3-year-old 3-month-old male child has been diagnosed with Down syndrome and can only use simple words like ‘Dad’, ‘Mom’, and ‘No’. What treatment should be considered for Down syndrome?
Answer
Trisomy 21, also known as congenital or Down syndrome, is a mental disorder of a special phenotype caused by congenital factors. The main clinical features include developmental delay, poor physical development, and specific facial characteristics, and may be accompanied by various malformations.
