Patient's question:
My infant is 30 days old. On the second day of birth, he was admitted to the hospital due to occasional tremors in his limbs and a hematoma on his head. Subsequently, a urinalysis revealed elevated galactose (once), and the hospital diagnosed him with galactosemia, stopping regular formula feeding and switching to lactose-free milk. Later, the hospital issued a critical condition notice to the family, forcing us to take the infant home. After consulting with a doctor at another hospital, we have been breastfeeding for over a week now. The infant has not experienced any vomiting, and his sleep, diet, and vocalizations are all normal. Additionally, his liver function is normal, and there is no brain edema. Based on these conditions, I sincerely ask whether my infant can be definitively diagnosed with galactosemia?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:Hello, vomiting after feeding is very common in children. This is mainly because the stomach of a child is in a horizontal position and contains relatively small amounts of food, making it easy for them to vomit or choke.
Advice:
Don't worry, as it will not affect the lungs and will not leave any long-term consequences. Pay attention to feeding posture and feeding frequency.
