I have read carefully all the medical details provided by you of your daughter and its unfortunate that its a genetic disorder and the medical science till date dont have a cure to it. Although early intervention programme with a team of therapists and special educators who can treat each child's specific situation are helpful in managing Down's syndrome to make to child self dependent and productive in his adult life upto some extent. For the congenital heart defect you can consult a pediatric cardio thoracic surgeon for a proper opinion on if the defect can be repaired surgically. The medicines which you have mentioned are adequate and will relieve the child symptomatically.
May God Bless The Child
