Patient's question:
I have hepatitis B with, and I was treated at the hospitalyears ago. I received interferon for a year. After a year, I checked into the hospital again and the disease flared up. In the past two years, I haven't taken any other medication for treatment. Recently, I've been feeling increasingly weak and a bit worried about myself. I found out that Entecavir can treat it, but I don't know if I can take it?Doctor's answer:
You need to go to the hospital to check your liver function and also check the amount of hepatitis B virus DNA. If your liver function is normal, then generally no treatment is needed. If you feel weak, it is not caused by hepatitis B. If your liver function is abnormal, with elevated transaminase levels, and the hepatitis B virus DNA count is also abnormal, then you can consider using antiviral drugs in combination for treatment. It may take several years to take these drugs, and you will also need to take many other medications to reduce transaminase levels. The daily treatment for hepatitis B patients mainly involves taking medication. Patients can take many oral medications and also take a variety of vitamins in combination.
