Question

Can Hepatitis B patients take care of children?

Answer

Hepatitis B is a disease caused by infection with the hepatitis B virus, which is a hepatotropic virus primarily existing within liver cells and damaging them, leading to liver cell inflammation, necrosis, and fibrosis. Hepatitis B is not easy to treat, and there are currently no specific drugs available. You can try interferon therapy. There are many causes of childhood liver diseases. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric liver disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to allow children to develop picky eating habits and have a balanced diet.
