Question
What is the best way to treat Down syndrome? What methods are best to use? My child is over three years old and has just been diagnosed. I haven’t decided where to treat them yet. What are the treatment options?
Answer
Trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome, is the most common birth defect disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities in children. There is currently no effective treatment. However, long-term patient education and training can help children develop. Additionally, preventing infectious diseases and various infections are also important. Early oral administration of nutrients such as vitamin B6 and folic acid can help improve function. For other accompanying anomalies, surgical correction may be an option. The specific treatment method should be determined based on the child’s specific condition and the doctor’s advice.
