Patient's question:
The child of the neighbor next door has hepatitis. Moreover, he plays with my child every day. I am particularly upset that my son also got hepatitis. However, I don't know if hepatitis can spread. So, I want to ask. What are the ways hepatitis spreads?Doctor's answer:
The most common types of hepatitis currently are primarily hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Among these, hepatitis A is mainly an acute hepatitis that spreads through the digestive tract, while hepatitis B and hepatitis C are chronic hepatitis that primarily spread through the bloodstream. Therefore, depending on the type of hepatitis, preventive measures should be taken. However, the most fundamental approach is to take good care of oneself and undergo comprehensive health check-ups at the hospital in a timely manner. If you are healthy, you should get the corresponding vaccine to protect yourself.
