Question
What are the treatment methods for Down syndrome? Does this disease have a chance of being inherited across generations? What are the general causes of Down syndrome? Besides treatment, are there any other ways to achieve recovery? What kind of methods are generally used to treat it more effectively?
Answer
Down syndrome is a congenital chromosomal abnormality with no cure available at present. It can only be managed through postnatal rehabilitation training to reduce the recurrence of complications. Children with Down syndrome generally experience intellectual disability and slow growth and development. Therefore, many intelligence training and physical exercises should be done to improve the child’s quality of life. It is important to enhance nutrition and digestion, and to ensure adequate rest and avoid overexertion.
