Question
How should children with Down syndrome receive treatment? What are the best treatment methods, especially for a three-year-old child, and how should treatment pathways be chosen?
Answer
Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21 or congenital trisomy, is a congenital defect caused by chromosomal abnormalities, commonly found in children. There is currently no cure for this condition, with treatment focusing on long-term education and training. It is important to actively prevent infections and various infectious diseases. Early use of oral supplements such as vitamin B6, r-tyrosine, and folic acid can be considered to help improve function. For other associated anomalies, surgical correction may be possible. Parents should seek assistance from professional medical institutions to obtain personalized treatment plans suitable for the child.
