Question

My son is 10 years old and has Down syndrome. This condition has been present for a long time, and he was diagnosed with Down syndrome. Hello, are there any treatment methods available?

Answer

Hello. If it is Down syndrome, it is usually a chromosomal genetic issue. According to your situation, chromosomal genetic issues are typically congenital factors and are difficult to treat at the root. We can only provide symptomatic treatment to alleviate the child’s symptoms and improve their self-care abilities. Down syndrome has a significant impact on the child, so I recommend taking your child to a specialized clinic for a follow-up examination and undergoing treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, you can give your child some fruit juice to aid digestion and vitamin intake to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort. I hope your child can recover soon!
