Introduction

Hepatitis B generally refers to chronic viral hepatitis B. Whether a booster shot for chronic viral hepatitis B requires three doses depends on individual circumstances. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Specifically, the standard vaccination schedule for chronic viral hepatitis B involves three doses administered at 0, 1, and 6 months.

Chronic hepatitis B generally refers to chronic viral hepatitis B. Under normal circumstances, the booster dose for chronic viral hepatitis B does not necessarily require three injections. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Specific details are as follows:

The standard vaccination schedule for chronic viral hepatitis B involves three doses administered at 0, 1, and 6 months. If an individual has previously completed the full hepatitis B vaccination series and subsequent antibody testing shows sufficiently high levels of hepatitis B surface antibodies providing effective immune protection, three additional doses may not be necessary.

However, if an individual has never received the hepatitis B vaccine, or previous vaccination failed to produce an adequate immune response, or if a long time has passed since vaccination and current testing reveals low antibody levels, three doses are typically required to achieve sufficient immune protection.

Patients with chronic viral hepatitis B can, under a doctor's guidance, use medications such as adefovir dipivoxil tablets, lamivudine tablets, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets for symptomatic treatment. Maintaining a balanced diet, regular作息 (daily routine), and a positive mood in daily life contributes to overall health.

Can people with liver damage receive the COVID-19 vaccine?

In general, whether patients with liver injury can receive the COVID-19 vaccine depends on the severity of their condition. Those with mild, stable liver injury can usually be vaccinated, whereas individuals with moderate to severe or acute-phase liver injury are not advised to get vaccinated immediately. Patients with liver injury should strictly follow medical advice regarding medication and avoid taking drugs that are hepatotoxic. They should maintain a light and balanced diet, reducing intake of greasy foods.

How long after the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine should one avoid bathing?

It is recommended not to take a shower within 24 hours after receiving the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, primarily to protect the injection site and prevent infection or irritation. If there are no abnormalities at the injection site after 24 hours, normal showering can resume. In daily life, keep the injection site clean and dry, wear loose and breathable clothing, and minimize friction and irritation to the area to help your body smoothly pass through the post-vaccination adaptation period.

Can I take Compound Paracetamol and Dextromethorphan Syrup when my temperature is 38°C?

If the body temperature is 38°C without any cold symptoms, or if the fever is caused by other conditions such as bacterial infection (e.g., pneumonia) or autoimmune diseases, or if the patient has severe underlying diseases such as liver or kidney dysfunction or glaucoma, this medication is not recommended. Taking the drug in these situations will not address the underlying cause, may mask the true condition with its active ingredients, delay diagnosis, or exacerbate the burden on pre-existing medical conditions.

Can I drink alcohol after taking cold medicine once my cold has gotten better?

Do not drink alcohol if you have stopped taking cold medicine less than 24 hours ago, or if your cold has resolved but you still have symptoms such as fatigue, sore throat, or poor digestion. The medication may not have been fully metabolized, and alcohol could interact with residual drugs, causing nausea, discomfort in the liver area, or other reactions. When the body has not fully recovered, alcohol may also irritate the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract, leading to recurrence of discomfort and interfering with recovery.

How long should I wait to breastfeed after taking one tablet of compound paracetamol and amantadine hydrochloride during lactation?

If a breastfeeding woman has normal liver and kidney function and good metabolic capacity for drugs, and has taken the regular dose of compound paracetamol and amantadine tablets, breastfeeding after a 24-hour interval is relatively safe. By this time, components such as paracetamol and amantadine have mostly been metabolized and eliminated from the body, with only minimal amounts entering breast milk, making adverse effects on the infant unlikely.

Did you add the medication to the nebulizer?

If a household or medical conventional compressor nebulizer is used, after adding the medication, the patient should use a mouthpiece (by holding the mouthpiece in the mouth) or a face mask (covering the mouth and nose) for nebulization; there is no need to cover the opening. This type of nebulizer converts liquid medication into aerosol droplets via airflow, which are then directly inhaled through the respiratory tract. An open port ensures smooth delivery of the aerosol droplets into the lungs, without affecting drug absorption efficacy.

What does it mean if the AST/ALT ratio is 0.8, which is偏低 (low)?

In general, a low AST/ALT ratio of 0.8 may be caused by imbalanced diet, stress response after intense exercise, mild fatty liver, viral hepatitis, or liver cirrhosis. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, identify the underlying cause, and receive symptomatic treatment under a doctor's guidance. In daily life, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid staying up late and excessive fatigue, and reduce the metabolic burden on the liver.
