Question

A month ago, a child was diagnosed with Down syndrome and has already begun receiving the appropriate treatment. What are the characteristics that children with Down syndrome may exhibit?

Answer

Hello! Down syndrome is a congenital disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Its main clinical features include delayed intellectual development, physical growth, and often accompanied by other malformations and weakened immunity. Since this condition originates from chromosomal issues, there is currently no cure. For children with Down syndrome, through active education and training, they can achieve certain self-care abilities. In more severe cases, family care is necessary.
