Question
What are the symptoms of neonatal galactosemia?
Answer
Typical cases may recur immediately in the perinatal period. They often experience symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and decreased appetite within a few days after feeding dairy products, followed by the recurrence of jaundice and liver enlargement. If we cannot make a timely diagnosis and focus on breastfeeding, the disease may worsen further, leading to symptoms such as ascites, liver failure, and skin rupture within two to five weeks.
