Hi Anonymous

Thanks for your question and congratulations on your new baby!

Hepatitis B clears up by itself pretty quickly (1-3 months) so if yours has cleared up now, you don't need to do anything. If it doesn't clear up by about 6 months, then it can turn into the chronic Hep B that you mentioned, which can mean liver damage.

So if it has cleared up, you don't need any medication at all.

I hope this helps!
