Patient's question:
Father has hepatitis B surface antigen positive but normal liver function. Mother is pregnant and has undergone a thorough check-up with normal liver function and negative hepatitis B surface antigen. What precautions should the child take? What kind of medicine should be taken in this situation? What should be paid attention to in daily diet?Doctor's answer:
From the situation described above, the possibility of horizontal transmission from mother to child is unlikely because the mother is negative for hepatitis B. This virus can be transmitted through blood and body fluids. The child should avoid excessive close contact with the father, especially sharing items like toothpaste. In addition to treating the liver disease, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
