I and my husband are planning to have a child, but the physical examination report organized by the company shows that my husband is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. He rarely drinks alcohol and never smokes. My test results are normal.Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B is difficult to treat, and there is currently no specific medication. You can try interferon treatment. There are many causes of pediatric liver disease.
