Patient's question:
I usually smoke at least a pack of cigarettes a day, and I have been drinking excessively for a long time. Recently, for some reason, I've lost my appetite, experienced abdominal pain after eating, discomfort in the upper abdomen, fever, joint pain, and more. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said I have hepatitis.Doctor's answer:
You are experiencing abdominal pain, fever, and joint pain again, which is likely caused by hepatitis. Drinking beer is very harmful to liver function. Patients with hepatitis should pay attention to their diet and try to avoid alcohol, as alcohol can cause significant liver damage. Long-term drinkers are also prone to recurrence of hepatitis. Additionally, it is recommended to consume more protein-rich foods to aid in digesting nutrients in the body. Hepatitis is a disease that is difficult to recover from. Friends with hepatitis should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism, as this can boost their confidence in fighting the disease and increase the likelihood of recovery.
