Patient's question:
Over the past two years, my colleague's child has been coughing. They bought medicine from a pharmacy, but it didn't help. Later, they took the child to a health center for a thorough check-up. The doctor said it was hepatitis B. However, my colleague's family is not well-off and is afraid that the treatment won't be effective, leading to aftereffects. I would like to ask if hepatitis B can be cured now, what should be done, and how can it be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
The cure rate for hepatitis B is very low, but as long as clinical remission can be achieved, there is no significant harm to the body, and it is possible to live with the virus for a long time, known as a virus carrier. This disease, under stable conditions, will never harm the body, but it requires regular testing and maintaining good lifestyle habits. If problems arise, antiviral drugs and liver-protecting drugs should be used promptly for treatment.
