Treatment of hepatitis B depends on several factors.
For chronic hepatitis B with active viral replication, antiviral medications are the main treatment. Drugs like entecavir and tenofovir can effectively suppress the hepatitis B virus and reduce liver damage. These medications usually need to be taken for a long time.
In addition to antiviral treatment, liver - protecting drugs may also be used. For example, drugs containing silymarin can help protect liver cells and improve liver function.
It's also very important for patients to have a healthy lifestyle. This includes avoiding alcohol, getting enough rest, and having a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and proteins to support liver health and the body's immune system during treatment.
