What can a person with hepatitis A eat?

If a person gets infected with acute Hepatitis B. How much time does he take to recover?

• On the net its given that the person may take 6 weeks or a bit more to recover from Hepatitis B. But i want to know the approximate days the person needs to be in the hospital and the time he has to spend at his home (bed rest). Consider the above question for a person who has been infected for the first time and is not diagnosed initially but after the symptoms become more severe the doctor’s diagnose it as Hepatitis B and then start the treatment.

• Answer:

  Actually it's not that long, anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on the individual and over all health. For some the symptoms can be common flu like symptoms and for others more severe. The best rule of thumb during recovery is to avoid taxing the liver during illness. When referring to longer recovery times, this is usually in regard to the liver itself. Though feeling fine, the body is still recovering. After a period of six months the average person is considered, "well," and has developed the antibodies for the Hep. B virus and is protected for life. The above is not referring to hospital time. There is no real treatment for Hep. B, you simply have to ride it out. Most are not hospitalized at all, unless they happen to be extremely ill for some reason.
