Children and HBV
Hepatitis B does not usually affect a child’s
normal growth and development. Most children
with chronic hepatitis B infections will enjoy long and healthy
lives. Unlike other chronic medical conditions, there are
generally no physical disabilities associated with hepatitis
B, nor are there usually any physical restrictions for these
children.
As a parent, you can take comfort from the fact that every
child presents unique challenges.Therefore, your
child with hepatitis B is just like any other child. The challenges
of raising a child with hepatitis B are manageable if you are
well informed and use common sense.
