How to prevent hepatitis?
The dangers of hepatitis can be very serious, so it is very important to avoid them, otherwise you or any member of your family may lose their lives. Let's know how to avoid this dangerous disease
1. Get vaccinated
The best way to avoid hepatitis is to get your child vaccinated in childhood. Doing so reduces the risk of hepatitis significantly, although vaccines for hepatitis C and E have not yet been discovered.
2. Avoid coming in contact with the virus
Hepatitis virus infection spreads when one person's body fluids somehow reach another person. Therefore, you should avoid internal contact with people who have this disease. This includes sharing razors, sharing needles, using someone else's toothbrush, touching someone else's blood and having unprotected sex. If you do this too, then get away from them immediately.
3. Avoid contaminated water and food
Always bring clean water and food from home. Often people become victims of hepatitis by eating and drinking outside food, then it takes a long time to recover.
