What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Down S Syndrome?
our grand daughter is not developing normally and we think that she may have a chromosonial abnormality similar to downs syndrome. Her symptoms include close set eyes, unusual movements of hands and high pitched scretching. She seems to be very behind in motor skills and at almost 9 months old is just now getting her first tooth.

The symptoms of downs syndrome are short neck, small head and ears,poor muscle tone,flat facial features,protruding or bulging tongue,upward slanted eyes etc these symptoms are often identified at birth, genetic testing must be done to confirm the diagnosis,don't worry about the eruption of the teeth, usually some babies get their first tooth erupted after 10months also. .....get investigations done for further management
