Does Active HBV Virus On DNA Test Require Treatment At Some Point?
Hi, my mother has been battling chronic HBV for the last 17 years. All kids are carrier of the virus (dormant). But recently all my 3 siblings got the DNA results and the virus is active (200 and less). At what point treatment is required. Is there any cases where the virus goes back to be dormant without treatment? Thank you

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Noted here child having hepatitis b infection chronic.....
And having HBV DNA positive ...
So it could be in active stage and consult gastroenterologist for it...
Here antiviral drug given to suppress viral multiplication...
Meanwhile take low fat diet...
One tsp licorice with honey useful.
Fruits more...
Antiviral drugs might given for 6 month or year ....
I hope your concern solved.
Take care.
