Question
A child with Down Syndrome has been diagnosed for half a year, and the family has invested a lot of resources in their treatment. What are the treatment methods for Down Syndrome, and how can the symptoms be alleviated?
Answer
Down Syndrome, also known as trisomy 21 or congenital Down Syndrome, is a congenital defect caused by chromosomal abnormalities, one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities in children. The main clinical manifestations include intellectual disability, delayed growth and development, and distinctive facial features, and may be accompanied by various malformations. Currently, there is no complete cure for Down Syndrome, but through early treatment and training, patients’ self-care abilities can be enhanced. It is recommended that families seek help from professional medical institutions to obtain more appropriate treatment and training plans.
