Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift its head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. There are no significant abnormalities, but it sometimes trembles. Can Down syndrome be treated?
Answer
Down syndrome is a condition with congenital defects that cannot be alleviated after birth. It can manifest as intellectual disability and poor self-care abilities. Therefore, it is currently recommended that pregnant women undergo a Down screening between 15 to 20 weeks of pregnancy to detect this risk early, take early measures, and prevent the increased pressure on the baby after birth, as well as on society and families.
