What Are The Symptoms Of Down Syndrome?
Hi. My baby girl is 17 days old and her tongue is thicker on one side, she plays with it a lot and sticks it out aswell, she is being tested for Down Syndrome because she also has the characteristic facial features of a Downs child, could the tongue be something else??

Hello,
A thick tongue is a feature of Down’s syndrome. If she is diagnosed with Down's, then it can be due to it. Consult your local doctor who will educate you about Down's.
