Hepatitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the liver. It can be caused by a viral infection or by exposure to drugs, toxins, or other harmful substances. There are several types of hepatitis viruses, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Hepatitis can range from a mild illness with few symptoms to a serious, life-threatening disease. Common symptoms of hepatitis include fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, and yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice). Vaccines are available to prevent some types of hepatitis, such as hepatitis A and B.

This kind of infection is usually considered less serious and may not require any treatment since it tends to be shorter. Rest, adequate nutrition, and water-content fruits are advisable. Hospitable stays may be required in cases of severe infections.
Prevention: Vaccination is known as the most effective way to prevent hepatitis A.
The majority of acute hepatitis B infections do not require specific treatment. Supportive care, including rest, hydration, and nutrition, is usually recommended.
Chronic Treatment: Antiviral medications, including interferon, can be used for chronic hepatitis B treatment. This medicine can help fight the virus and also impede the mechanism by which the virus damages the liver. Not every single person with an infection calls for treatment, and the treatment decision is up to the progression of the virus and the condition of the liver.
Prevention: Vaccination is accessible and thus a recommended action.
