Can hepatitis B in children be cured?

　　In clinical terms, hepatitis B refers to hepatitis B viral infection. Whether pediatric hepatitis B can be cured depends on the specific circumstances. If the condition is mild and treated promptly, it can usually be cured; however, if the disease is severe and treatment is delayed, it generally cannot be cured. The detailed analysis is as follows:

　　1. Can be cured

　　Hepatitis B is a disease caused by hepatitis B virus infection of the liver. After infection, the liver tissue is affected, leading to symptoms such as fatigue and abdominal distension when liver function declines. If a child's condition is mild and they actively cooperate with medical treatment, the disease progression can be controlled, symptoms can be improved, and the prognosis is generally good. Therefore, it can be cured.

　　2. Cannot be cured

　　If a child has a more severe case of hepatitis B, significant liver damage may occur, potentially leading to complications such as jaundice and cirrhosis. If treatment is delayed, the resulting liver damage may become irreversible. Given current medical standards, a complete cure cannot be achieved in such cases, so it cannot be cured.

　　After being diagnosed with hepatitis B, patients should promptly visit the gastroenterology or hepatology department at a hospital. Under a doctor’s guidance, medications such as lamivudine tablets, entecavir tablets, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets may be used for treatment.
