Can hepatitis be ignored?

Patient's question:

Sister's family is quite poor, so they don't eat very well. The nephew fainted the day before yesterday, and we thought he had a cold and fever. Later, we took him to the hospital. The doctor said the nephew is malnourished and needs to be given glucose injections, and he also has some anemia. Although this is a minor illness, it should not be ignored, as it may easily lead to inflammation and turn into hepatitis.

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis, most commonly refers to viral hepatitis caused by hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E viruses, which is just one of the most important branches within the "hepatitis" family. Inflammation is a systemic disease, and in addition to affecting the liver, the virus can also attack other organs. It can be found in various organs such as the kidneys, pancreas, bone marrow, and thyroid. Hepatitis has a significant impact on patients, so once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, patients should pay close attention to self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods. It is hoped that hepatitis patients can receive professional treatment.
