Question
My 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. She has no major abnormalities, but she sometimes trembles. What medications are available for treating Down Syndrome?
Answer
Down Syndrome is caused by a chromosomal mutation that occurs before birth and is also related to certain hereditary factors in the parents. Currently, there is no specific treatment plan available. It is important to prevent infectious diseases and contagious illnesses, such as bacterial and viral infections, by using oral medications like vitamin B6, r-tyrosine, and folic acid to stabilize the condition. As the baby grows older, surgical correction can be considered.
