Patient's question:
I have hepatitis B and I'm afraid of getting other serious illnesses. I used to drink alcohol. My liver enzymes were elevated by a few dozen points in previous tests, but I haven't drunk alcohol since then. After taking medication, they returned to normal. It shouldn't suddenly become severe, right? I get regular check-ups?Doctor's answer:
Hello. People with hepatitis B should avoid drinking alcohol. Otherwise, it can lead to alcoholic liver disease. Generally, it is recommended to eat more foods rich in B vitamins to protect the liver. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy, cold, and greasy foods. Smoking and alcohol should be avoided, and avoid overexertion. There is no specific treatment for hepatitis B. It is recommended to check liver function. As long as the liver function test is normal, there is no need to worry. It is recommended to take appropriate medications to protect the liver and reduce enzyme levels, as well as to treat the liver holistically. These are commonly used basic treatment drugs for chronic hepatitis in clinical practice. However, it is important to pay attention to avoid overexertion, avoid alcohol, and not take medications that can damage the liver. Drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables.
