Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to consult about which foods might pose a risk of transmitting hepatitis if eaten, as I am going on a business trip this time.Doctor's answer:
The transmission of hepatitis is not related to what you eat. The spread of hepatitis viruses occurs through blood. In normal circumstances, you would not be infected with hepatitis by sharing meals with a hepatitis patient. However, if you have mouth ulcers, gum bleeding, or stomach ulcers with bleeding, that's a different story. It is recommended that you get tested for the five hepatitis B markers regularly and get vaccinated for hepatitis B to produce antibodies. This greatly reduces the risk of contracting hepatitis. Hepatitis is a serious condition, and patients should seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
