Can hepatitis B be cured totally?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Most adults with hepatitis B recover fully, even if their signs and symptoms are severe. Infants and children are more likely to develop a chronic (long-lasting) hepatitis B infection. A vaccine can prevent hepatitis B, but there's no cure if you have the condition.

Given the large gallstone (15mm), symptoms, and high blood sugar, a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) is generally recommended for your mother. While homeopathy and Ayurveda can offer complementary therapies, they are not a replacement for conventional medical treatment.

My wife seems to be having a bad reaction every time she eats eggs. It feels like she's getting this painful, acidic sensation in her stomach. What could be causing this, and is there something we can do to help alleviate her discomfort?
It sounds like your wife might have an intolerance or sensitivity to eggs, which can cause stomach discomfort or acidity. Avoid eggs for now and give her an antacid or home remedies like cold milk or ginger tea. If the issue persists, consult a doctor to rule out other conditions.
