For children, a syndrome refers to a collection of symptoms and characteristics that occur together and help identify a specific medical or developmental condition. A syndrome may affect a child's physical, cognitive, and/or emotional well-being. Some syndromes are genetic in nature and present at birth, while others may develop later due to certain factors. It is important to note that syndromes can vary widely in terms of severity and impact on a child's life. Medical professionals may use specific diagnostic criteria to identify and diagnose syndromes in children, which can help guide appropriate treatment and support.
