Patient's question:
The baby is now one month old and has received two doses of the hepatitis B vaccine. Recently, it is said that the entire family of three in the neighboring house has hepatitis. However, they are still allowed to meet and give food to our baby (their baby is about the same age as ours). Sometimes the two children even share food, taking turns eating one bite from each other. I am very worried that our baby might get infected as well. What should I do? Is it possible to get infected through such contact?Doctor's answer:
If you have been anesthetized with the hepatitis B vaccine, you can check for antibodies at the hospital. If you have them, there is nothing to worry about. In addition to hepatitis B patients not necessarily being in the infectious period, patients should also pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular and professional hospital. I hope the above answer can assist you.
