Enquiry on Treatment

I have been diagnosed of hepa B virus, the doctor @ the laboratory asked me to begin treatment with Essentials forte, and some antibiotics. I have taken these drugs for a week now, but am feeling severe pains in my right abdomen and ribs. Please I am based in lagos, Nigeria. Where can I see a specialist and get immediate attention. I am so keen for responses because my elder sister died last month of same disease.

Just try to find a liver specialist and be guided by his/her advice. I am not a doctor and the forum cannot substitute for a good doctor.

Essentials forte is a supplement and is not recognised as a treatment for Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is caused by a virus, antibiotics have no effect on viral infection.
