Down syndrome

Overview

Down syndrome is a genetic condition and the most common chromosomal abnormality in humans.

  • Small head and short neck

  • Flat facial profile with upward-slanting eyes

  • Low-set, small ears

Effects

  • Intellectual disability ranging from mild to moderate

  • Delayed growth and slower developmental milestones

  • Emotional and social challenges, though many children with Down syndrome are affectionate and interactive

  • Calcarea Carbonica – for delayed milestones, weak muscles, and frequent colds
