Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B is a disease caused by infection with the hepatitis B virus. The hepatitis B virus is a hepatotropic virus that primarily exists within liver cells and damages them, leading to liver cell inflammation, necrosis, and fibrosis. Hepatitis B is difficult to treat, and there is currently no specific medication available. You can try treating it with interferon.
