Does my daughter is Positive with hepatitis b

My daughter is now 2.5 years old , have vaccinated all three dose of hepatitis b. Now, developing symptoms like hepatitis b such as : low appetite, lack of proper digestion and she is being physically weak these days. Though I had her hepatitis B checked before 1year ago and result was negative. But I have still doubt, has she now been positive to hepatitis B? that all her symptoms indicate the same.

I am not taking her to diagnosed coz I don't want it happen to her or don't want see her to be associated with it.

Doctor had told me that I was healthy inactive carrier and less chance to transfer to other. As my condition before two was as follow :

HbsAg  Positive
Hbeag  Negative
Anti Hbc   Negative
DNA 37 Ui/ml

What conclusion comes from these reports ? These repots  were of 2012 and it because of blood transfusion in 2008 but I was diagnosed in 2012.

What is the chances of daughter to be infected from this fatal disease ? One more thing I would like to share here is I had married in 2009 ,I have a daughter from her but she is not Positive and till 2012 she had not vaccinated . Don't know about her childhood.

You NEED to have her checked by a doctor. If she is sick, you need to know what it is to help her and the only way to know is if she gets examined by a doctor.

What was her antibody level when she tested negative for hep b a year ago?

The symptoms you described for your daughter can be due to many causes other than Hepatitis B, so I strongly suggest that you should take her to see a doctor.
By the way, Hepatitis B is not a fatal disease, it can be treated and controlled very successfully by existing medications. A cure will come in the future.
Hepatitis B is a chronic disease and very variable, so you will need to have check-up of your condition at least once a year. I hope your wife is vaccinated by now.
