General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello
i appreciate your concern you need not to worry its not a serious condition at all.
Hepatitis A causes acute (short-lived) infection. The liver heals itself over a few weeks to months. It doesn't cause any long-term problems or complications.
as far as your blood test are concerned its just above a normal range.
if such a case comes to me in my clinic i would advise him like
1 have plenty of glucose rich food or glucose water if he is not diabetic
2.no physical exertion
3.it heals on its own over a period of 7-10 days
ultrasound shows no abnormal pathology of liver and abdomen as awhole
Hope this helps you
Feel free to ask for follow up
good luck
