Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's wrong, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. How old does the child need to be to get tested for hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B can be vertically transmitted. If the mother has hepatitis B, the child may already be infected. After the child is born, the infection can be detected. If the infection is due to birth-related trauma, it may take a month to detect. Administering globulin after birth can prevent infection. Children can be treated with children's cold medicine, ibuprofen suspension, cefixime, and Qingkailing granules. If the child still has a fever, alcohol bathing can be used as a treatment option.
