Patient's question:
My mother went for a health check-up the day before yesterday. Yesterday, the health check report came out, and now she has hepatitis B, specifically the small three positive type. The doctor said it's a contagious disease. Since our family eats dinner together, if her used bowls, chopsticks, bedding, and other items are mixed with ours, doesn't that mean the whole family has the chance of getting infected?Doctor's answer:
Hello! It's best to separate the utensils used by hepatitis B patients with from those of the family, using separate bowls and towels! There's no need to worry too much, just be mindful of it, so it won't be transmitted to family members. Additionally, family members should get the hepatitis B vaccine as soon as possible to prevent the risk of infection. Hepatitis B patients should cooperate with doctors for scientific treatment, avoid spicy and greasy foods in daily diet, and try not to catch colds! Exercise more! Pay attention to rest! Avoid overtime. Liver disease is a condition that is not easy to recover from. Patient friends should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset, as only this can boost their confidence in combating liver disease and believe that recovery is certain.
