Patient's question:
My colleague has hepatitis B. Once, he hiccuped on my face. Will I get infected?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hiccups will never be contagious. The ways of hepatitis B infection include blood, sexual transmission, etc. Hepatitis B is a blood-borne disease that primarily spreads through routes such as surgery and anesthesia. In principle, it is highly unlikely to spread through droplets or the gastrointestinal tract. You don't need to worry. However, you should also take preventive measures. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with hepatitis B need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep throughout their lives. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover from this disease as soon as possible!
