To answer your question, Hepatitis B needs to be treated if it doesn't clear on its own. It sounds as though you are now learning that liver damage is one of the long term consequences, and you must now deal with that as well.

One thing I can tell you for sure - if your liver is already damaged, be as careful as you can to avoid further stress on it - especially alcohol, smoking and many medications -either prescription or over the counter also are taxing to the liver. You will probably also find some foods, and possibly caffeine, make you feel worse.

I second @irene5, you need to see an infectious disease specialist who is familiar with chronic Hepatitis B as soon as you can.

Do you have access to medical specialists?
