Medical Therapy
Hepatitis A is a self-limiting infection. There is no specific treatment but for supportive care.
Patients are
- advised to rest
- avoid fatty foods and alcohol (these may be poorly tolerated for some additional months during the recovery phase and cause minor relapses)
- eat a well-balanced diet, and stay hydrated.
Approximately 15% of people diagnosed with hepatitis A may experience one or more symptomatic relapse(s) for up to 24 months after contracting this disease.
