Is it good for someone with hepatitis B to take traditional Chinese medicine?

Patient's question:

When I was a child, I took traditional Chinese medicine and didn't feel anything. Now my liver function is normal. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is 24 (reference range: 5-40), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is 48 (reference range: 5-40). The results show that the liver size is within the normal range, the liver capsule is smooth, the liver parenchyma echoes are thickened and increased, and the arrangement is uneven. No obvious space-occupying lesions were observed.

Doctor's answer:

First, it's important to understand that there is no special or miraculous cure for the hepatitis B virus to turn negative. Don't always focus on achieving negativity. The key is to maintain normal liver function. As long as liver function tests are normal, no treatment is needed. Don't worry. However, it's essential to pay attention to avoid overexertion, adhere to a ban on alcohol, and avoid medications harmful to the liver. Drink plenty of water and eat more fruits and vegetables. Regular liver function tests should be conducted. In addition, during the treatment of liver disease, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery of the liver disease.
