Patient's question:
A few days ago, one of my colleagues kept saying he felt unwell all over and had some liver pain. The day before yesterday, our company conducted a group health check-up. Yesterday afternoon, the health check report came out, and the result showed he had chronic hepatitis B (HBeAg positive). He used to be very healthy, so we all found it quite sudden and were very worried about him.Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B patients with a high viral load should pay attention to avoid overexertion in daily life, adhere to a ban on alcohol, and avoid medications harmful to the liver. Drink plenty of water and eat more fruits and vegetables. However, do not overuse medications, as excessive use of either traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine may cause liver damage. Any medication must be metabolized by the liver, which can cause some degree of liver damage. Rest and avoid overexertion, and maintain a positive mood. Additionally, during treatment, the diet and care of patients with a high viral load are also very important. Patients should focus on digesting vitamins, preventing stomach issues, and maintaining a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
