Patient's question:
How long after a child is born can you know if they have been infected with a disease? Can medication be used? Is surgery necessary? Are there any good methods? Does anyone know?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is recommended to wait until after completing three doses of the hepatitis B vaccine before getting tested. If the mother is diagnosed with hepatitis B during pregnancy, it is advisable to choose imported vaccines for the child at birth and administer hepatitis B immune globulin concurrently. If you want to check whether the vaccination has been successful, it is recommended to wait until the child is at least two years old. Alternatively, you can have the child tested for the five hepatitis B markers after a one-month interval. Follow the doctor's advice.
