Question
I’ve been hearing a lot about Down syndrome recently, but I don’t know much about it. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of milder Down syndrome are?
Answer
Down syndrome is a congenital disorder caused by chromosomal abnormalities. The main symptoms are usually noticeable at birth by experienced doctors, including distinctive features such as slanting eyes, wide eye spacing, and webbed fingers, often accompanied by congenital heart disease and other malformations. If a child is suspected of having Down syndrome, parents should immediately take the child for medical examination and treatment, avoid using unverified medications, and provide the child with appropriate care and attention to assist in timely treatment of the disease.
