Can hepatitis A be transmitted?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. Can hepatitis A be cured? Can current hospital treatment levels cure hepatitis A? What treatment methods are available now? Are there any new treatment methods? Is hepatitis A contagious? Doctor, how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis A is a disease with a self-healing and counterintuitive psychological effect. If the acute phase is successfully passed, the condition generally tends to subside. This disease is contagious and is primarily spread through the fecal-oral route. During the onset of the disease, it is important to maintain fecal-oral isolation from others. When there is a significant decline in transaminase levels, medications such as liver-cleansing and gallbladder-clearing mixtures should be used. The treatment course typically lasts about three weeks. Additionally, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake in daily life.
