Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Ziqi
The recovery time for hepatitis B varies depending on individual differences, severity of the condition, and treatment response. Acute hepatitis B usually resolves within 1 to 4 months. Individuals with good physical health, mild symptoms, and active treatment may recover in 1 to 2 months. However, chronic hepatitis B typically requires long-term treatment and management due to the difficulty in completely eliminating the virus. Patients with hepatitis B should actively follow their doctor's treatment plan and pay attention to diet and lifestyle habits to promote recovery and disease stability.
