Question
How should Down syndrome be treated to achieve the best results? Patients often experience mood swings and unclear language expression. What treatment approaches should be taken?
Answer
Currently, there is no cure for Down syndrome. Some traditional Chinese medicines may help alleviate symptoms and promote the progress of children with the condition. Babies with Down syndrome are classified as congenital mental retardation, and there is a lack of effective treatment methods in China at this stage. It is recommended to undergo screening during pregnancy to prevent the birth of such babies. If considering stem cell transplantation, seek relevant medical advice. Patients with Down syndrome often have intellectual development delays, and if possible, special education can be used to cultivate their self-care abilities. For severe cases, parents need to provide more care and support.
