Patient's question:
Last year, my wife was a hepatitis B carrier, and her family, including herself, was unaware of it. It was only discovered during a thorough check-up at 37 weeks of pregnancy that she had a positive result for hepatitis B surface antigen and e antigen (big two positive). How should it be treated, and what precautions should be taken in various aspects during this period? What kind of help is needed: How should it be treated after the baby is born?Doctor's answer:
Please pay attention to regularly checking liver function, and seek timely treatment if any abnormalities are found. If there are no abnormalities, after the child is born, they should receive the hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours, preferably within 4 hours, administered on both sides. Repeat the administration of the hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B vaccine after one month, and only the hepatitis B vaccine is needed at six months. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain adequate sleep, as sufficient rest will help you recover more quickly from the illness.
