Question

How should Down Syndrome be treated to achieve the best results? Patients often exhibit emotional instability and unclear language expression, how should treatment be approached?

Answer

As of now, there is no cure for Down Syndrome. Some traditional Chinese medicines may help improve the symptoms of children with the condition, promoting their development. Children with Down Syndrome are congenitally mentally challenged, and effective treatment methods are lacking in China. Typically, screenings are conducted during pregnancy to prevent the birth of such children. If willing, one can consider trying stem cell transplantation. Patients with Down Syndrome often have intellectual disabilities, and if circumstances permit, special learning can be used to cultivate their self-care abilities. For severe cases, parents need to provide special care.
