Question
A newborn over one month old is experiencing eyes that roll up and stare, and the parents are very worried. What is the issue?
Answer
A newborn’s eyes rolling up and staring is a serious manifestation of a disease that can lead to brain hypoxia and cellular damage, and should be immediately taken to the hospital for treatment. The child was diagnosed with galactosemia, and the mother should take the child to a doctor promptly, avoid using unlicensed medications, and provide the child with sufficient care and attention.
