Swallowing study: Children with Downs Syndrome often will be prone to lung infections due to aspiration of stomach or mouth contents. An assessment of swallowing may help to determine if this is causing or contributing to the problem. Determination of the specific cause of the pneumonia will guide the treatment. PRMG/Pediatrics: fax 858 259 9689 for ?s and review of records.
