How can babies avoid getting infected?

Patient's question:

Not menstruating, discovered pregnancy after a criminal incident, with the pregnancy duration being up to 31 days. How can the child of an hepatitis B patient avoid transmission?

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B immune globulin can interrupt mother-to-child transmission. Within 48 hours after birth (the earlier the better), administer one dose of hepatitis B immune globulin via intramuscular injection. Then, wait for one month and administer another dose. Combine this with the use of hepatitis B vaccine to achieve a protection rate of 70% to 90% for the infant. For severe hepatitis B patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medications blindly, as this may worsen the condition.
