Patient's question:
In 2003, I discovered that I had hepatitis B and was a carrier. At that time, the virus count was in the millions, but my liver function was normal. The doctor prescribed me two very common traditional Chinese herbal medicines for clearing heat and detoxifying. I took them for two months, and after checking, the virus count dropped once, which was very effective. The doctor said there was no need for treatment. After a while, I often experienced constipation and didn't know how to solve it. Now my liver has symptoms, mainly pain. How should I treat it? How can I achieve the best effect as a hepatitis B carrier?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there is no medication that can completely eliminate the hepatitis B virus. If liver function is normal, treatment is generally not required, but the following points must be noted. Due to the limited effectiveness of various antiviral drugs, it is not advisable to solely pursue an HBeAg-negative conversion. Instead, a combination of regulating rest and work, and follow-up should be achieved. Lowering personal immune function and antiviral ability, striving to completely eliminate the hepatitis B virus and maintain a disease-free state, irregular liver function tests, avoiding beer, smoking, and spicy foods, ensuring deep sleep, and getting adequate rest are all important. It is essential to maintain a positive mood. In addition to timely treatment, patients with liver disease must pay attention to maintaining deep sleep throughout their lives. Sufficient deep sleep is the key to helping you recover quickly from the disease. I hope the above information can assist you.
