Seek medical attention promptly and undergo thorough examinations, including blood tests, ultrasound scans, and viral testing. Based on the results, the doctor will develop an appropriate treatment plan for the patient. Follow the prescribed antiviral medication regimen as directed. At the same time, maintain a balanced diet by eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoiding greasy foods, and practicing good hygiene. Get adequate rest and minimize both mental and physical exertion to prevent worsening of the condition. Regularly undergo ultrasound examinations to detect any fetal developmental abnormalities early and adjust the treatment plan accordingly. Adhere to the full course of treatment and do not discontinue medication on your own to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes.
