Hello everyone ,
just recently got diagnosed with hepatitis b and ever since then the doc has placed me on strict diet and enough fluids and rest so my body can clear the virus . He also gave me some liver drugs to use to help in boosting my liver performance in order to fight the virus well … my alt is at 124 and my ast is at 54 which indicates my immune system fighting the virus .
I just need someone who can shed more light for me on hep b and how can someone overcome it so it won’t lead to chronic hepatitis as I lost my sister to this 3 years ago….
The doc prescribed Livolin forte , Daravit forte , sorbitol sachet 5g, .
I’ve started using it since like 3 days now . Can you please let me know if this medications will help my body system fight off the virus …
I stopped eating oil and I’ve been eating veggies and drinking lemon with warm water early morning …. Carrots , watermelon, grapes has been my snacks . I just got diagnosed last month.
I’m really freaking out due the fact that I lost my sister to this I’m really praying that my system clear off this virus

Hi @Jsrg12746,
Welcome to the community and I am sorry to hear about your current situation and about your sister. Have my sympathy. 90% of people who get infected with HBV as adults do clear the virus. Meaning you have a 90% chance of clearing it. Rest and eating well is a great advice from your doctor and I agree with it. It is scary with your sister dying from it and your diagnosis, but the situations are different. Yours is an acute infection as you have stated and your sister probably a long chronic patients who did not know.
Stay in care, rest, eat, and try to worry less so your body can heal. The majority of patients with acute infection do not require any treatment. What you have been giving are liver supplements for liver health. Your immune system is what will clear the virus, resting, eating well, reducing stress will be helpful, but drinking, smoking, among other negative behaviors will not be helpful. I hope this helps and keep us posted as things progress. Bansah1

Thank you so much . I really appreciate you replying to my messages . I’ve cut off drinking and smoking I don’t really drink but I do smoke …
Hopefully… I can come back on here and leave a good testimony about the virus leaving my system… I’ve been emotionally down and weak I’ve been thinking about the whole stuff and praying real hard
