Good noon Doctor, My father is a patient of Hepatitis B and due to which he is always having problem related to Acidity. Some Doctors said that he has Lever problem. Kindly prescribe something for him. He is still having same problem, like pain with acidity. Thank You
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. What I can make out is that your father is suffering from hepatitis due to infection with Hepatitis B virus, probably chronic hepatitis B. It would have been great had I examined your father on my own. Yes, he definitely does have liver dysfunction. He needs a thorough evaluation. Do not panic. With proper treatment, it can be kept under control. I would suggest you to ask him to - Avoid oily, spicy food- Chat Doctor. Your doctor can guide on the exact dosage.- Get an ultrasound abdomen done-Get a blood hemoglobin, total blood count, platelets, ESR, liver function test, Hepatitis B serology (Bag, Anti HBS, Anti HBC Egg and IGM, Head), ANA, Anti LKM 1, 2, 3, HBO DNA. They will help in the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. There are plenty of medications like Endeavor, Interferons, Lamivudine, Tenofovir etcetera. Take him to a gastroenterologist. He/she can examine him and correlate clinically. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing your dads good health.
