Hi dear thanks for asking question....

Noted you ave anti HBc positive.
You have not mentioned whether it is IG M or IG G type.
Usually anti hbc is first antibody appear in Blood from current or past infection.
IG M replaced by IG G and IG G type anti HB c remain for lie long.

You might develop anti HBS that is also can remain life long and provide immunity.

So your infection us resolving.

The only you have to watch is HBSag in serum.
If it remain positive more then 6 month then you can be chronic case....

Meanwhile take low fat diet.
Fruits more...
Papaiya seed crushed one tsp with lemon juice useful.


Take care.
