Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 20-year-old and have tested positive for the hepatitis B virus. So, I want to know if there is anything I can do to get rid of the virus entirely from my bloodstream.

Answered by Dr. Archana. G.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern and will try to help you resolve your problems. If you tested hepatitis B positive, kindly get yourself treated with antibiotics. Ask your physician to treat you with antibiotics depending on your weight, and dosed accordingly. Antibodies usually develop as soon as you get infected still. Therefore, you will have to take antibiotics. Feel free to ask any doubts you have. I hope this information helps you sort out your problems.

Thank you.
