I desperately need a help from an Ob-Gyne...?

Question

My sister is almost four month pregnant and just a week ago she had her first monthly check-up. She had a urine test and some so-called laboratory check-up. The people from the lab told her that she got HEPATITIS B. The whole family is scared and undoubtingly, the baby already got the same sickness. The doctor advised her to have medications right after she gave birth. We are so worried that they might be a horrifying effect once my sister gave birth. We think that the baby won't be normal or might turn to a freak because of her sickness. What are the natural foods or fruits that can remedy HEPATITIS B? Please help, we are in deep pain especally we got no idea about this.

Answer 1

didnt pamala anderson have Hep B and i think her children turned out fine.... you shouldn't really be asking medical help from the internet u never know if its reliable or not.... you should go to your doctor or go with your sister for one of her visits and ask her doctor what food might help..
Im sure the baby is fine since she probebly had it before getting pregnant and the body generally aborts the baby in the first 3 months if there is something really wrong

you need to relax for your sake and the sake of your sister since extra stress about the issue is not what she needs
let her know ull be there no matter what

Answer 2

If she tested in her pregnancy for Hep. B they will test again closer to her actual due date. If she tests positive again they will administer drugs to the newborn in the delivery room. Infants born to HBsAg-positive women can be protected against the hepatitis B virus, but only if the hepatitis B blood test results are clearly communicated to the attending physician and delivery room staff. If the following two medications are given immediately in the delivery room (or within the first 12 hours of life), then there is more than a 95% chance that a newborn will avoid a chronic HBV infection:

Hepatitis B Vaccine - first dose of the vaccine series

Hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) - 1 or 2 dose

There is no cure for Hep. B but the chances are good that the child will not be infected if these drugs are given. The mother can start receiving drugs after the birth and she can breastfeed, too. The Hep. B virus is not passed through breast milk, so that is a plus.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, there are no cures for Hepatitis B, medically or naturally. This is quoted from the CDC website, hope they don't mind too much:

Yes, you should get a blood test to check for HBV infection early in your pregnancy. This test is called hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). If you test HBsAg-negative early in pregnancy, but continue behaviors that put you at risk for HBV infection (e.g., multiple sex partners, injection drug use), you should be retested for HBsAg close to delivery. If your HBsAg test is positive, this means you are infected with HBV and can give the virus to your baby. Babies who get HBV at birth might develop chronic HBV infection that can lead to cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer.

If your blood test is positive, your baby should receive the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine, along with another shot, hepatitis B immune globulin (called HBIG), at birth. The second dose of vaccine should be given at aged 1-2 months and the third dose at aged 6 months (but not before aged 24 weeks).
