Whether or not a child with developmental delay can be cured cannot be generalized, it needs to be based on the actual cause of the disease and the extent of the disease, such as chromosomal abnormalities caused by developmental delay generally cannot be cured.
Developmental delay is mainly related to genetic, endocrine and other factors, refers to children in the process of growth and development of abnormal phenomena such as slowing down, the patient may appear physical development, motor development and intellectual development lagging behind and other manifestations.
The prognosis of stunting is related to the cause of the disease and the degree of the disease. If the stunting is caused by malnutrition, the development can be improved after correcting the malnutrition. For example, vitamin D deficiency in young children, timely supplementation of vitamin D can effectively improve their development.
Some metabolic or endocrine diseases may improve after correcting the cause of the disease, such as hypothyroidism, the earlier the correction of hypothyroidism, the better the recovery, and the treatment is not timely or even can not be recovered.
Developmental delays caused by chromosomal abnormalities may lead to mental retardation and generally have a poor prognosis and cannot be cured, such as trisomy 21.
Parents should pay attention to children with developmental delay and bring their children to the doctor for diagnosis in time, and the doctor will make judgment and diagnosis and treatment by specialists, and it is not possible to generalize whether they can be cured or not.
