The health care methods for Hepatitis B

Common health care methods for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), and Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) include:

1. Paying attention to hygiene. In the high temperatures and humidity of summer, bacteria and fungi proliferate. Hepatitis B patients already have a certain degree of liver damage, and various pathogenic microorganisms can take advantage of this vulnerability, potentially causing colds or infections, which could lead to a reactivation and worsening of Hepatitis B, resulting in liver function impairment. Therefore, special attention should be paid to hygiene.

2. Following a balanced diet. High temperatures can reduce appetite, so Hepatitis B patients should consume light and refreshing foods in summer, with a reasonable combination of foods. It's advisable to avoid excessive greasy foods, consume fewer sweets and spicy foods, and choose to eat cooling foods, which can help dispel heat and relieve summer heat. Particularly, it's important to stay away from beer.

3. Maintaining an optimistic mindset: A positive and optimistic attitude is beneficial for the recovery of liver diseases.

4. Engaging in physical exercise: Participating in suitable sports activities, such as Tai Chi, fishing, and walking, is recommended.

5. Avoiding excessive cooling: Due to the hot weather, many Hepatitis B carriers keep the air conditioning on throughout the summer, which can easily lead to catching a cold, diarrhea, or even a severe fever.

6. Drinking plenty of water: Sweating more in summer can lead to physical weakness, so Hepatitis B carriers should drink plenty of water, ideally consuming over 2000 milliliters of water daily. In addition to meals, it's advisable to drink small amounts of plain water several times a day.

Experts remind patients that if the condition is severe, they should seek medical attention promptly, and wish them a speedy recovery.
