Patient's question:
I am a farmer and often take on temporary jobs outside. A couple of days ago, our workplace conducted a health check-up, saying that since I often eat dinner out, there might be a risk of contracting an infectious disease. As a result, one of my colleagues was found to have hepatitis. Over the past couple of days, everyone has been on edge, fearing they might get infected. It is said that this disease is difficult to treat. What are the symptoms of hepatitis A?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis A, also known as hepatitis A, is an intestinal infectious disease caused by the hepatitis A virus. The symptoms of hepatitis A primarily include fever, fatigue, reduced appetite, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice. Some patients may experience abdominal pain or nausea and vomiting, with urine appearing brown and stools being light in color. Physical examination may reveal swollen and tender or painful liver. Additionally, during the treatment of hepatitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
