Patient's question:
Grandmother was found to have hepatitis B (minor positive). She usually has poor respiratory health and coughs up blood-tinged phlegm. She often feeds the child by chewing food in her mouth. Will this transmit hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the hepatitis B virus is transmitted through blood, saliva, semen, injections, mother-to-child transmission, and close contact. The situation you mentioned could potentially be contagious. Since most hepatitis B patients have immune tolerance and do not produce an immune response to the hepatitis B virus (HBV), it leads to the condition persisting without resolution. Therefore, stimulating the body's immune system to respond to the hepatitis B virus is the key to rapid recovery from hepatitis B. The condition of hepatitis B patients typically progresses from mild to severe, and with prolonged infection, it may evolve along the path of "hepatitis B → cirrhosis → liver cancer," which is commonly referred to as the "three stages of hepatitis B." Thus, your mother-in-law should adopt proper treatment measures and seek early to prevent further deterioration.Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has long been practiced in clinical settings, accumulating many unique and effective formulas. I recommend using traditional Chinese herbs such as bergamot, white peony root, (Hainan), alisma, white atractylodes, ginseng, August (), tortoise shell, baical root, poria, and gold essence powder for combined treatment. When used together, these herbs can completely destroy the DNA polymerase and protease chains of the hepatitis B virus, rendering the virus completely incapable of replication and proliferation. This is akin to performing a "sterilization procedure" on the hepatitis B virus, cutting off its lineage and preventing the original virus from generating new viruses, thereby thoroughly eliminating the virus from the body and ultimately achieving a cure for hepatitis B. This method is effective for both hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive and negative cases, helping to achieve negativity in test results.
I hope for proper treatment and wish you a speedy recovery!
