Patient's question:
At the age of ten, I was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B. After taking the medication, I kept vomiting and couldn't eat. Eventually, I gave up on taking the medicine. Now, my appetite is normal, and my body shows no abnormalities, except for occasional fatigue.Doctor's answer:
Patients with hepatitis B may experience symptoms such as fatigue again if their immune function is compromised. The presence of hepatitis B virus in your body is indicated by the "big three positive" (HBsAg, HBeAg, and anti-HBe), but the severity of the condition needs to be determined based on liver function and DNA tests. This will help identify how your liver has been damaged again and the amount of virus in your body. Once the specific condition is clear, targeted treatment can be implemented. If family members have been vaccinated against hepatitis B and have developed antibodies, they will not transmit the virus.Patients with liver disease can, while understanding the principle of treating symptoms, use dietary therapy as a complement to their treatment. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or overeating in daily life and never indulge in excessive consumption.
