Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift its head, can roll over, has normal appetite, and basically has no abnormalities. However, it sometimes trembles. How should Down syndrome be treated optimally?
Answer
Babies with Down syndrome, also known as congenital idiocy, cannot be effectively cured in China at present. It is generally recommended to undergo screening during pregnancy to avoid the birth of such babies, which can cause certain damage to the body. It can lead to intellectual decline, functional impairment, and restricted activity. The positivity rate is not high. Since your test result indicates a high risk, it is still advisable to undergo further examination.
