Hepatitis A - Treatments

Hepatitis A is a self-limiting disease. There is no specific treatment. Symptomatic treatment and rest are all that is required.

The patient should observe good personal hygiene to prevent spread to others. Admission to hospital is indicated if the patient's symptoms become worse (eg intractable vomiting, dehydration and signs of impending liver failure).
