Can A Person Who Is Recovering From Hepatitis A Or E Infection Eat Boiled Eggs?
Hello Sir,
My husband is recovering from Hepatitis A or E infection. It has been almost 4 weeks now since the symptoms started with fever and body ache etc. He is much better now. Can he have boiled eggs ? He is away in Hong Kong for now, and getting other non spicy non oily food is not easy. Thanks.

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Yes, he can eat boiled eggs provided consciousness level is normal. If there is Hepatitis a person can be in hepatic encephalopathy where high protein diet is not recommended.
If sensorium is fine, there is no problem in eating boiled eggs.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
