Question
Can a child with hepatitis B attend school?
Answer
If a child is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus and has normal liver function, it does not affect their enrollment in school. However, for children who test positive for the tuberculin skin test, due to their certain infectiousness, it is recommended that parents have their child treated first and postpone their school enrollment. There are many factors that can cause liver disease in children. If a child is diagnosed with liver disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and cultivate good hygiene habits. Parents should also avoid allowing their children to develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
