It is important that you see your doctor as soon as you display symptoms of hepatitis or believe you have been exposed to a hepatitis virus. Contact with blood, feces, foreign tap water or contaminated food should urge you to seek proper testing. A blood test will determine if you have been infected.
Recovery and treatment time for any type of hepatitis is extensive, sometimes lasting weeks to months. Those infections that become chronic can last a lifetime. Ask your doctor what you can do to speed up recovery time or give yourself the best chance for a full and healthy recovery. Make sure to follow instructions and take medication as prescribed.
