Brief Answer:
Do not worry, need details
Detailed Answer:
Hi
welcome to HCM
thank you for your query
I understand your concerns
Well need to look at your liver function tests? Do you endoscopy report if any?
Also are you on any medications?
Unlikely you have cirrhosis but worthwhile getting an fibroscan done to look for same, this is much definite test.
Your viral load is low so that's good but there is a possibility that this low viral load is causing some problems in liver that needs to be further evaluated. Also you do not need any bed rest.
hope this answers your query
best wishes

Brief Answer:
You need to be restarted on antivirals
Detailed Answer:
Hi, Welcome back to HCM
Thank you for your query
Well, you need to be restarted on antivirals.
You should not have stopped Adsera (Did you consult any doctor before stopping?)
You need to be started on probably more potent antiviral now . Need to undergo an endoscopy to look for changes of cirrhosis and fibroscan if available to look for same.
You need to be on regular follow up with a gastroenterologist and be compliant with your medications
Let me know if there's any thing I can help you with.

Brief Answer:
Antiviral is needed
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Good you consulted an gastroenterologist.
He has started you on a potent antiviral which you need. Don't stop if unless your doctor asks you to do so. Though your viral load is low it is actively damaging your liver to needs to be treated.
Possibly you have significant fibrosis or early changes of cirrhosis on the basis of your fibroscan report so you need to take the medications prescribed by him.
continue your antibiotics and keep monitoring temperature using a thermometer. If your are running fever it is unlikely due to hepatitis.
Hope this answers your query.
Best wishes.
