Patient's question:
The case is for my father, with a family history of hereditary hepatitis B. He has no special symptoms and has undergone health check-ups in the past two years. This year, he has shown obvious alcohol cravings. A few days ago, after a health check-up, all his indicators were higher than last year, and the diagnosis was a hepatitis B carrier. The hospital prescribed Liver Health Tablets. I would like to understand how to treat it specifically, the condition, and the interference. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
If you have hepatitis B, it is absolutely necessary to strictly prohibit alcohol consumption, avoid overtime work, and do not take medication casually. If you are sick, you must go to the hospital and let the doctor understand your general condition. The best course of action is for the doctor to prescribe medication. Since the health checkup confirms that you are a hepatitis B carrier, it proves that your current liver function is still normal. Otherwise, you would be diagnosed with hepatitis B or even cirrhosis. It proves that your current condition is still stable. However, it is still best to test for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody, and hepatitis B viral load. You should visit the infectious disease department to confirm the need for antiviral treatment.
