Patient's question:
I am a hepatitis B patient, and for these years, I have been using medication to treat it. The control has been average. I used to take Western medicine, so I would like to consult about whether to choose traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine for treating hepatitis.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for hepatitis B primarily includes antiviral therapy, immune regulation, anti-inflammatory and liver-protecting, anti-fibrosis, and symptomatic treatment, among which antiviral therapy is key. As long as there is evidence of recovery and conditions permit, standardized antiviral treatment should be implemented. In addition to active treatment and adequate rest, hepatitis B patients should also cooperate with dietary management. There are several treatment methods for hepatitis, but since symptoms vary among patients, different diagnostic approaches are adopted. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
