Doctor's answer:
The sound of "Hepatitis B" indicates the presence of the hepatitis B virus, and the sound of "DNA positive" suggests that the virus copies are highly active, indicating strong transmissibility. It can cause liver damage. It is recommended to consult the hepatobiliary department of a hospital for follow-up. Antiviral drugs and liver-protecting medications should be used under the guidance of a physician. Long-term medication and regular follow-up are necessary. Rest well, avoid drinking beer, and maintain a light diet.
