Patient's question:
I am currently taking Weizhi capsules to treat hepatitis B. My liver function is currently normal, but the virus count has not yet returned to normal. In recent days, I have been having frequent nightmares at night, feeling restless and hot before bed, and experiencing vivid dreams that wake me up. This morning at 7 a.m., I was woken up by the heat, sweating all over my body as if I were ice-skating. All day today, my hands and feet have been sweating profusely, as if it were summer.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the symptoms should be manifestations of kidney yin deficiency. For kidney yin deficiency, you can consume black fungus, perch, black sesame seeds, softshell turtle, lotus seeds, small walnuts, etc., for dietary supplements. Medicinal herbs for tonifying the kidneys include Zuogui Wan, Liuwei Dihuang Wan, and Zhibai Dihuang Wan, etc. They will never interfere with antiviral treatment for hepatitis B. In addition to timely treatment for the "big three positive" (HBeAg positive, HBsAg positive, and HBV DNA positive), friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude in facing the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immunity and strengthen their belief in fighting the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor changes in their symptoms, believing that this will definitely drive away the "big three positive."
