Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

I understand your concern and it is a common finding in down's kids. Sometimes it might be progressive. I suggest you use iron supplements after medical supplements after consulting your paediatrician. It might help.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
