I have down syndrome with trisomy 14/21, can tell me risk about these. One baby is died after 28 days she is positive in down syndrome. Again when I was conceived the chrosome test is done and it is again positive .please help me.

Dr. Poonam Singh Gambhir

Geneticist•Kanpur

I think you are balanced translocation carrier for chromosome 14/21. In this case in each pregnancy you need to go for amniocentesis at 16 weeks pregnancy to diagnose whether baby has chromosomal defect or not. Or else you can go for ivf with pgs (preimplantation genetic screening) pregnancy.

Hi
As the test result says, there is lower chances of your baby getting affected by Down's syndrome. But these tests doesn't have 100 percent detection rate so best result that they can give is low risk.
So relax and follow up with your gynaecologist regularly.
Best wishes.

Definitely Not !!! Homeopathy medicines are based on whole symptomatology that you have provided at the time of consultation. If you are using medicines form 2 doctors for the same condition, then there are chances that both medicines will antidote each other and both will not work.

Yes it is possible to control hunger through ayurvedic treatment. But there may be other reasons for hunger and it may be natural also for a active child. So it would be better to explore the right reason for the hunger. for a growing child good appetite is a good sign.

Asked for female, 37 years old from Mysore

Namaste, my 9 year son diagnosed as asd at the age 3.6 and he is non speech also since july 2022 am giving him axepta 10 and risperidone .75 ml .his hyperactivity like hand shaking jumping running reduced most but hypo sensitivity is presence. Niw my question is can reduce the dosage of axepta 10 tab like can I give him 1/2 tab per day coz now a days if I give ful tab he feel sleepy not attentive. And now risperidone reduced to .5 ml.

Dr. Shraddha Lotlikar

MBBS, DNB (PSYCHIATRY)

Psychiatrist•Mumbai

Hi lybrate-user I think you should contact your doctor for these changes. 5 mg of axepta may not really help with anything. You should reduce risperidone further if you want but continue the axepta. Once again, refer to and trust your childâs doctor on this one
hope this helps

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Children with spastic diplegia may have delays in motor development, including rolling over, sitting, and standing. They may walk on their toes, or walk with a scissored gait. Fortunately, although symptoms may change as the child grows older, spastic diplegia does not worsen over time.

Your opinion may be right, but it is not because of the homoeopathy itself. It is because of the mismatch of the medicine.
With right homeopathic medicine the results are very encouraging.
