Disease description:
My 9-month-old baby has been diagnosed with hepatitis B. What should I do?
After a nine-month-old baby is diagnosed with hepatitis B, treatment should begin immediately. There are several types of medications available for treating hepatitis B, including antiviral drugs, immunosuppressants, and immunomodulators. The goal of hepatitis B treatment is to control viral replication and reduce serum viral levels, aiming for a cure. Patients must follow their doctor's instructions, take medication at the same time every day, and avoid stopping or adjusting the dosage without guidance. During treatment, exposure to infection sources should be avoided, and regular follow-up visits are necessary to monitor liver function promptly, control disease progression, and prevent worsening of the condition. If a nine-month-old baby is diagnosed with hepatitis B, prompt medical care is recommended to avoid delays in treatment.
