Question

My child has been diagnosed with Down syndrome. How should postoperative care be conducted? I hope to receive a detailed explanation from the doctor.

Answer

Down syndrome is a type of intellectual disability caused by congenital factors and is one of the most common birth defects in children resulting from chromosomal abnormalities. It is recommended that parents invest more time in intervening with the child’s language, intelligence, and physical coordination. Generally, some children can achieve self-care abilities. Specific care measures should be determined based on the child’s condition.
