Patient's question:
My grandfather has recently been calling to say that his appetite isn't good. Sometimes he can't even eat a meal all day, and seeing food makes him feel nauseous and like he wants to vomit. I went to his hometown to pick him up for a short stay, and noticed that his spirits weren't very good either—he felt weak all over. Yesterday, I took him to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Today, the test results came back, and it was found that he has viral hepatitis.Doctor's answer:
Lowering the level of environmental hygiene, pay attention to food hygiene, develop good hygiene habits. Timely vaccination with the hepatitis B vaccine. Do not share razors and toothbrushes with others. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume easily digestible and light foods. They should contain a variety of different vitamins, sufficient calories, and adequate protein, as well as appropriately digestible B and C vitamins. The daily treatment for patients with viral hepatitis primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, complemented with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods, in the hope that patients with viral hepatitis can recover as soon as possible!
