What symptoms might an infant infected with B Hepatitis exhibit?

A patient with B Hepatitis and HBeAg positivity, who has a five-year history of the disease, has normal liver function and no symptoms, asking whether they can transmit the virus to their newborn baby. The response suggests traditional Chinese medicine treatment to stimulate the body’s immune system to produce an immune response against the B Hepatitis virus, aiming for rapid recovery.

Children born to parents who are carriers of the Hepatitis B virus may be affected, as the virus primarily exists within liver cells and damages them, causing inflammation, necrosis, and fibrosis. There is currently no effective medication for treating Hepatitis B, but interferon therapy can be used. If a child is diagnosed with liver disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, follow dietary and hygiene practices.
