When symptoms of acute hepatitis B appear, the patient needs to rest more to replenish water and nutrition. It is recommended to avoid exposure to other factors that may worsen liver inflammation, such as alcohol. There is no specific treatment or cure for acute hepatitis B. After an acute hepatitis B infection, it may fully recover or progress to a chronic disease. Chronic hepatitis B is diagnosed by certain blood markers of hepatitis. Most adults will not develop chronic diseases, but most children who are infected from birth or under five years of age will develop chronic diseases, which may be asymptomatic or occasionally have hepatitis characterized by abdominal pain, yellow eyes, dark urine, or abnormal liver tests . The main problem faced by chronic hepatitis B is the risk of developing cirrhosis and ciwon daji.
