Questions
What department should be consulted for the exclusion of 21-trisomy in infants? What diseases can be treated in pediatric surgery, and which symptoms belong to pediatric medicine?
Answers
To definitively determine if there is a 21-trisomy syndrome, a chromosome test is ultimately required for confirmation, as clinical presentations alone cannot conclude the diagnosis. There are also other genetic conditions like 18-trisomy that can present with similar symptoms. If a child is not feeling well, it may be due to fever-related symptoms, so it’s recommended to promptly test their body temperature and provide symptomatic treatment. By doing so, complications can be reduced, and a balanced diet with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits can promote early recovery.
