Question
A friend’s child is suspected of having Down syndrome recently and wants to know how much the treatment costs?
Answer
Down syndrome is a congenital disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Treatment costs vary by region and hospital. There is currently no effective treatment method, and the focus is mainly on long-term education and training for the child. Early use of oral vitamins B6, r-taurine, folic acid, and other supplements can help improve function. For related deformities, surgical correction may be required. Therefore, treatment costs may include medical expenses and rehabilitation costs, among others. Specific costs should be consulted with the hospital or doctor.
