Patient's question:
My husband was diagnosed with hepatitis and is now undergoing treatment. I noticed his face was yellow before, and he often complained of feeling weak and lacking energy. He is now being treated at home. It is said that hepatitis can be contagious, and I am worried it might infect our child. What should we do if he has hepatitis?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis is not an incurable disease; with systematic treatment, it can be cured. Not all types of hepatitis are contagious. For patients, if the hepatitis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, with appropriate medication, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of hepatitis. In addition, patients also need to maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood.
