Question
A newborn baby continues to have a drooling problem and has an abnormal facial appearance. After medical examination, the doctor suspects a possible Down syndrome. What are the typical symptoms of Down syndrome?
Answer
Down syndrome is a congenital disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities, characterized by intellectual disability, slow physical growth, and often accompanied by other physical deformities, as well as a weaker immune system. Since the condition originates from chromosomal issues, there are currently no effective treatment methods in medicine. However, through active education and training, patients can achieve a certain degree of independence in daily life. For patients with more severe conditions, long-term care from family members may be required. Wishing your baby a healthy growth.
