Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift its head, can roll over, has normal appetite, and has no significant abnormalities, but sometimes it trembles. Is it common for children with Down syndrome to vomit during feeding?
Answer
Children with Down syndrome primarily exhibit symptoms other than dry heaves, such as intellectual disability, a low nasal bridge, and widened eye fissures. They may also show delicate skin and webbed palms. Additionally, these children have weakened resistance and some may have congenital heart disease. They also have a higher incidence of respiratory tract diseases in early childhood. However, with the current medical conditions, there is no cure for this disease, which brings certain pressures to society and families.
