Patient's question:
My friend is a carrier of hepatitis virus... We only have general contact. Things like eating dinner together, will we get infected? Which tests should we get done at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis, such as hepatitis A or hepatitis B, is generally highly contagious. It can be contracted through casual contact as well. If you don't have antibodies, you should go to the hospital to get vaccinated against hepatitis-related antibodies. Once you have antibodies, you will absolutely not be infected even with intimate contact.The daily treatment for hepatitis patients primarily involves medication. Patients can take many oral medications, supplemented with various vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that hepatitis patients can recover as soon as possible!
