Patient's question:
My friend's child was playing with their friends a couple of days ago. Due to a minor issue, the other child hit my friend's child, and then my friend's child bit the other child's hand, resulting in blood. Later, it was said that the other child is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. Will my friend's child get infected? My friend's child has been vaccinated before and has antibodies. She asked me to help her find out if there's a risk of getting hepatitis B in this situation.Doctor's answer:
If the child has antibodies, there is no need to worry too much. However, if the antibody titer is still insufficient, it is still possible to be infected with the hepatitis B virus. Therefore, it is best to come to the hospital in time for an HBsAg and anti-HBs test to see how the hepatitis B virus is transmitted. Hepatitis patients can, while understanding standard treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge drink.
