Patient's question:
Recently, my cousin's little baby got sick, with a low but persistent fever, scaring the family. After checking, they found that the baby had early-stage hepatitis, with jaundiced skin and a lack of interest in talking. The baby is also very lazy and reluctant to move. What should we do? How is hepatitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver. The cause of inflammation may vary, with the most common being virus-induced, in addition to autoimmune-induced. Rest and proper nutrition, avoid strenuous exercise. Regularly undergo check-ups. Everything will be fine. To ultimately win this battle, it requires interaction between both the doctor and patient - scientific and reasonable treatment and care by healthcare professionals, and persistent self-regulation by the patient. When both parties work together, the effect can be more than twice as good. Treatment accounts for three parts, while care accounts for seven. Hepatitis patients can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, use dietary therapy as a complement to treatment in daily life. In daily diet, it is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness, and never overeat or binge drink.
