Question

Is the child born to a hepatitis B surface antigen-positive father with a hepatitis B e antigen-negative mother considered to have hepatitis B?

Answer

Currently, there are no reliable drugs to treat hepatitis B. Drug therapy generally requires lifelong medication and may cause the virus to mutate and have side effects on other organs. Cell therapy for hepatitis B is more effective than drug therapy, using the patient’s own immune cells to effectively clear the hepatitis B virus. You can visit our hospital’s website to learn more about cell therapy for hepatitis B, or directly consult our experts. It is recommended to avoid alcohol, maintain a happy mood, as anger can damage the liver, avoid drugs that harm the liver, engage in moderate exercise, abstain from spicy and stimulating foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, and consume high-protein, high-vitamin foods. Maintain a good lifestyle routine. However, there is a safer and more reliable prevention method, which is to administer hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccines to the child immediately after birth, thus preventing the child from being infected with the hepatitis B virus. Moreover, since your partner has hepatitis B antibodies, this method is even more reliable.
