What should be noted for jaundice hepatitis?

Patient's question:

My complexion suddenly turned yellow recently, and my appetite has been poor. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said it was acute jaundice hepatitis. I had to stay in the hospital for treatment for a period of time, but later I recovered and was discharged to rest at home. When I came home, my husband didn't even know how to take care of me, because we really have no experience in caring for such patients.

Doctor's answer:

Acute jaundice hepatitis requires attention in diet: Food should be as fresh, delicious, light, easy to digest, suitable for both hot and cold, and non-irritating, with adequate quantity. Nutritious liquid, semi-liquid, and soft foods can be consumed. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, especially alcohol and tobacco. The main component of alcohol is ethanol, which, after entering the bloodstream, undergoes decomposition and metabolism in the liver. The compressed decomposition product, acetaldehyde, has a strong toxicity to liver cells, exacerbating damage to already affected liver cells.
There are many treatment methods for hepatitis, but since patients have different symptoms, the treatment approaches vary. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
