Question

A friend’s child has been growing slowly and has a peculiar appearance on the face. The doctor says the child has Down Syndrome. What dietary precautions should be taken for Down Syndrome?

Answer

There is no special effective treatment for Down Syndrome at present. The purpose of implementing recovery treatment is to enhance the child’s mobility, reduce the differences in intellectual development, and strive to achieve self-care abilities as much as possible. Treatment progress may be slow, requiring great love, patience, and perseverance from family members to ensure continuous special training and treatment. Parents should take their children to medical treatment in a timely manner to avoid misconceptions and receive timely symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is important to give the child enough care and attention, and do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
