Patient's question:
A friend of mine who carries the hepatitis B virus is coming to stay at my house for a few days. What should we pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
A hepatitis B virus carrier refers to a person who has the hepatitis B virus but is not infected. They only carry the virus and will never infect others through any means. I don't know the specifics of your friend's situation. If you share meals, it depends on how you eat. If you eat with someone, it may increase the likelihood of getting sick, as there is a risk of saliva infection. This is also why people get hepatitis B when eating dinner at restaurants. If you're just eating at the same table but using separate utensils, there's no problem.The daily treatment for liver disease primarily involves symptomatic therapy. Patients can take many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope liver patients can recover quickly!
