Question
Can Hepatitis B be passed on to a child? My wife and I have just had a baby, but I have Hepatitis B, and I’m worried it might be transmitted to the child. Although Hepatitis B has no significant impact now, we both hope our child will be healthy and free from any congenital diseases, which will also make it easier for them to find a job later on.
Answer
Hepatitis B can indeed be inherited by children. Antiviral medications such as interferon can be used for treatment, and if possible, combining traditional Chinese medicine can yield better results. It’s also advisable to avoid greasy or spicy irritating foods. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
