Patient's question:
That's right, I've been living with my grandmother since I was a child, for 22 years now. She raised me from a young age, so we are very close. However, I just found out that she once had a blood transfusion in the 1960s, and I don't know if she might have been infected with viral hepatitis as a result. But she never takes any medication for it and never goes to the hospital for it. If someone has viral hepatitis and doesn't get treated or take medicine, are there any additional symptoms in daily life? My grandmother has never had any special symptoms, so I'm just wondering if she might be infected with viral hepatitis.

According to your condition, you do not have hepatitis B. Recommendation: Get the hepatitis B vaccine under anesthesia, and have a thorough check-up for the five hepatitis B items once a year. If you don't produce antibodies after the first shot, get a booster shot. There are several treatment methods for hepatitis B, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach will differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms. During the treatment period, it is also important to rest in bed, avoid strenuous exercise, maintain a good mood, and not have too much pressure.
