Hello doctor. 2 months ago I tested positive for hepatitis B virus but the virus is not active. For a few days now, I feel pain and discomfort in my stomach, poor appetite, increased salivary glands. I can't go to the doctor right now, I'm very worried. I hope the doctor can help me. Thank you.

Hello. The symptoms you describe are not enough for the doctor to diagnose and prescribe treatment. I need to see a doctor to be examined, tested, then give specific advice for me. Newly detected HBsAg index (+), if the time is less than 6 months, will need to be re-evaluated after 6 months. If she is still positive the second time, she will need to be followed up every 6 months.
You can go to the nearest medical centers or hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide.
Thank you for trusting me to send questions to Vinmec, looking forward to meeting you for more specific advice.
