Question
What serious issues can long-term drinking cause for Hepatitis B patients?
Answer
Hepatitis B patients should avoid drinking alcohol, as it may trigger alcoholic liver disease. They should consume more foods rich in B vitamins to protect the liver, and their diet should be light, avoiding spicy, cold, and greasy foods. They should also quit smoking and drinking, and avoid overexertion. There is no effective cure for Hepatitis B, so it is recommended to regularly check liver function. As long as the liver function is normal, there is no need to worry excessively. Additionally, it is suggested to take liver-protecting and enzyme-lowering medications, as well as overall liver treatment, which are the basic treatments for chronic hepatitis. However, in daily life, one must pay attention to not overexert oneself, strictly avoid alcohol consumption, and steer clear of medications harmful to the liver. Moreover, drinking plenty of water and eating more vegetables and fruits is also very important.
