What is Hep B?

10. Treatment
In some cases, treating hepatitis B is not necessary as the immune system will fight the disease itself. In such cases, the patient is recommended to drink plenty of fluids and generally take care of themselves to help their bodies in the fight against the infection.
In more severe cases, anti-viral medication will be necessary to help the body defeat the virus. Even if the medication cannot defeat the virus, it may at least be able to help to slow down the advance of the virus. In the most extreme of cases, a liver transplant may be deemed necessary in order to save the patient’s life.
