Question
If a baby is diagnosed with Down Syndrome after birth, as there was no prenatal screening for Down Syndrome during pregnancy, what should be done about a child with Down Syndrome?
Answer
There is no effective treatment for Down Syndrome, and it is recommended to provide patient and nurturing education and training for the affected children. It is also advised to prevent infectious diseases and to apply medications such as vitamin B6 early on to enhance brain function. Other deformities can be corrected through surgery. It is suggested to bring the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as early as possible, as early treatment is better.
