Question
My child was born with Down syndrome, and I would like to know if Down syndrome can be treated?
Answer
Down syndrome currently has no effective treatment methods, but early training and education can promote the intellectual development and physical improvement of infants. The characteristics of Down syndrome include intellectual disability, distinctive facial features such as a low nose, wide eye spacing, small fissured eyes, small ears, frequent mouth opening, tongue sticking out, and drooling. More than half of the children have congenital heart disease or cleft lip and palate deformities. Currently, the disease can be detected and diagnosed through early prenatal screening, so prenatal care is very important.
