Hello,
With the question “Is hepatitis B dangerous? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If it is the first time hepatitis B is detected, it is necessary to determine whether it is acute hepatitis B infection. Therefore, the patient appeared fever for a few days, headache, body aches, sore throat, cough with phlegm. The patient was very tired and had an appointment to see him again after 3 months. You need to limit your alcohol intake.
If you still have questions about hepatitis B, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
