Patient's question:
Mom has hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive, the child is now just one year old, tested for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), antibody titer is 160, should I get a booster shot?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your child's hepatitis B surface antibody titer is quite high, so there is no need to get a booster shot. It is generally recommended to maintain the hepatitis B surface antibody for three to five years. When your child turns three, you can retest for the five hepatitis B markers to see if a booster shot is needed. In addition, during the treatment of hepatitis B, in addition to immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from hepatitis B.
