Patient's question:
My family member has hepatitis E, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis E is contagious, and its transmission routes include food industrial pollution, fecal-oral transmission, everyday contact transmission, and surgical transmission.1. If living together, it is important to use personal items exclusively for each individual and ensure proper sterilization after use. Meals should be served separately as much as possible.
2. Hepatitis E patients should focus on adequate rest and proper nutrition as the foundation, using medications selectively. Avoid alcohol, overexertion, and the use of liver-damaging drugs. Medication use should be controlled, and the treatment of hepatitis E should be simple rather than complicated.
