Patient's question:
Patient is male, 21 years old. Hepatitis B carrier for 8 years. Currently in good condition, no symptoms, no flare-ups.Doctor's answer:
A hepatitis B carrier generally does not need medication if liver function is normal, because so far, there is no specific drug that can cure hepatitis B. Although there are many antiviral drugs available now, the rate of clearing the virus is very low, and using them is essentially useless.In daily life, it is important to avoid drinking beer, smoking, and consuming (stimulating) greasy foods. The diet should be based on light food, low in fat and salt, and high in protein. Eating more vegetables and fruits can enhance nutrition, strengthen the body, and boost the immune system. Engaging in appropriate physical activities, avoiding overexertion, and preventing colds are also important.
If the condition is detected early and treated promptly, the chances of suppressing the disease and recovering are very high.
