Hepatitis B does not usually affect a child’s normal growth and development.

Most children with chronic Hepatitis B infections will enjoy long and healthy lives. Unlike other chronic medical conditions, there are generally no physical disabilities associated with Hepatitis B, nor are there usually any physical restrictions for these children.

As a parent, you can take comfort from the fact that every child presents unique challenges. Therefore, your child with Hepatitis B is just like any other child. The challenges of raising a child with Hepatitis B are manageable if you are well informed and use common sense.
