Question
A child has been diagnosed with Down syndrome at birth, and the parents are seeking treatment options but are unsure about other treatment methods besides surgery?
Answer
Hello! I’m glad to help you with this question. Down syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality disease that currently has no cure. Treatment mainly focuses on symptomatic medication, particularly for the diseases commonly associated with the condition, such as respiratory infections, gastrointestinal obstruction, congenital heart disease, and thyroid dysfunction. These conditions can be cured or controlled. Lastly, I wish you good health and happiness in life!
