Brief Answer:
Repeat the blood tests.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for choosing 'Ask a Doctor' service for your query. Have seen your details.
As per your query:
1)
- You need to repeat both the liver test
- Hepatitis B profile
- PCR test to know the current status
The reports attached by you are two years old and you are on antiviral since then. A repeat test report is required before modifying or stopping medication.
2)
You could take Ayurvedic medication. Just remember that interval between ayurvedic and allopathic should be more then 30 minutes.
3) I am a English medicine practitioner. Ayurvedic medicine dose would be suggested by an Ayurved-acharya.
However, as per the query regarding Entecavir, I would suggest you to get a repeat test done. Attach the reports and mail it back so that doses could be told whether medicine could be stopped.
I hope this helps. Take care. Thank you.
Regards
