Patient's question:
I have been working odd jobs in the south for over a year. During this time, I've had many jobs, but none of them were stable. Last month, after my hometown explained it to me, I was hired as an intern chef at a restaurant. The restaurant required us to undergo a physical examination. Who knew that after the thorough check-up results came back, I was shocked to find out that I had hepatitis B. What should I do now that I have hepatitis?Doctor's answer:
If you have hepatitis B with a low viral load, normal transaminase levels, and are a long-term stable inactive carrier, treatment is not required. Regular liver function tests can be performed as needed. If the viral load is high, transaminase levels fluctuate repeatedly or frequently drop suddenly, this condition can lead to serious consequences if not treated promptly, requiring sufficient attention and standardized treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can stabilize the patient's clinical symptoms and signs, provide liver protection and enzyme reduction, and have a certain effect on adjusting the immune system. Some patients may even be cured through treatment. In addition to active treatment, hepatitis patients also need to maintain a healthy diet in their daily lives.
