Patient's question:
What medications are good for hepatitis B carriers to take? Is it necessary to have annual follow-up tests? I used to be an HBsAg-positive carrier () but later converted to an HBsAg-negative carrier (). The doctor said there were no major issues. I haven't had a thorough check-up this year yet. My child was born in February last year, and after the doctor's thorough examination, they said it was okay to change diapers. Since then, I haven't had any further check-ups, and I'm not sure if I still need to focus on medication or regular monitoring. Apart from feeling a bit sluggish, there are no other abnormalities.

Although your condition has improved, you are not yet fully recovered and should undergo regular hospital check-ups. Moreover, the condition of hepatitis B patients is prone to flare-ups, and once it occurs, it can easily be transmitted to your child and family members. Therefore, you should pay sufficient attention. As for whether you need to take medication, it depends on the results of your examination and the specifics of your condition.Have you had a liver function test? Is your baby healthy? Have you stopped taking medication?
