Is Hepatitis A Curable?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

There's currently no cure for Hepatitis A. An infected person usually gets better within few months. Till then symptoms can be managed with supportive treatments, adequate rest and hydration.

So my mom, Karthiyayani, went to your clinic on the 9th because she had this stomach pain after taking the Duvanta tablet at night. You originally prescribed Palmigas, Duvanta, Gpital, and Pan D. She didn't take the Pan D at night like you instructed, only in the morning. We're just a bit worried since your clinic isn't open on Sundays, and wanted to ask if she should keep taking these meds or not.

Karthiyayani should continue the prescribed medicines: Medicines to Continue 1. Palmigas 2. Duvanta (as directed) 3. Gpital (as directed) Next Steps 1. Monitor stomach pain and report any worsening. 2. Follow dosage instructions. 3. Schedule a follow-up appointment for Monday or earliest available time. Please confirm her condition improves or worsens. If concerns arise, contact the clinic or on-call doctor.

I've been having really frequent bowel movements lately, and the stool has a super foul smell. Its often runny, and I keep feeling bloated because of all the gas. What could be going on here? Should I be worried?

did u have food at an unusual place after which all the symptoms have started... if yes then it might be due to indigestion or food poisoning... I suggest you to take good amount of water and take soda or lemon juice so that you will get feel better....please also meet a physician....thank you

I'm dealing with some stomach bloating after recovering from a stomach infection, and I'm feeling a bit concerned. Whenever I walk, especially in the evening, I notice this heaviness or mild difficulty in breathing. Plus, there's pressure and bloating in my upper abdomen. My oxygen levels seem fine while walking, ranging between 98 and 99, but I'm wondering if the breathing heaviness is related to the bloating. Could you shed some light on what's happening?

take tablet pantop once daily for 5 days, it will reduce bloating
