Diabetologist,  's  Response
Dear Friend, greetings from HCM. I am sorry there are no medication s to treat galactosemia . in this condition the enzyme in liver which is responsible for metabolism if galactose is absent. Hence you need to avoid giving lactose or galactose . that is the only treatment .
All the diary products must be avoided and ask for lactose free milk and milk products.
Jaundice will come down and other liver enzymes are normal.
Get an eye examination done for her as galactosemia could cause cataract too.

Thank you and do contact us for more queries.
