Patient's question:
The other day, I felt unwell, couldn't eat, had a loss of appetite, and had no energy. Sometimes I felt nauseous, even vomiting. I also had discomfort in my abdomen and joint pain. So, I went to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up and was diagnosed with hepatitis. How should I treat it, and what should I pay attention to in daily life?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. If the liver function is normal and not severe, treatment may not be necessary. However, if it needs to be closely monitored to prevent it from becoming chronic hepatitis B (), it becomes serious, and antiviral treatment is required. It is said that lamivudine has a good efficacy in antiviral treatment. Hepatitis is a disease that is not easily resolved. Friends with this condition should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset, as only this can boost their confidence in combating hepatitis and believe that recovery is certain.
