14 Symptoms of Hepatitis A

Hepatitis A is an infection that you can contract if infected stool comes into contact with your food, water, or skin. While this might sound like an unlikely occurrence, the truth is that there are many ways that hepatitis A can spread.

The condition  is a viral infection that cause fatigue, loss of appetite, dark urine, muscle pain, and more. It also causes low-grade fever, and numerous other potential symptoms. This is a somewhat serious condition, and while it will often be self-limiting, it is highly recommended that you see a doctor at your earliest convenience in order to get treatment.

In fact, it is actually recommended that you see a doctor as soon as you notice someone close to you has become infected with the condition. For that reason, you need to be able to quickly and easily identify the symptoms. In this post, you will learn a host of different symptoms that point to a case of hepatitis A.

1. Fever

Hepatitis A is caused by a viral infection, and like most viral infections, this means it is likely to cause a fever. A fever is your body’s way of trying to drive out the infection. It does this by increasing the temperature of your body in order to make it a “less hospitable” environment for the germs. 

Some people will try and fight the fever by cooling their bodies down with ice packs and flannels. This is actually mistaken, as you will find you this way lose the benefits that the fever is attempting to accomplish.

When you have a fever, it is therefore better to simply manage the symptoms it may lead to. For instance, keep the room cool in order to ensure you don’t feel too uncomfortable. Likewise, make sure that you keep drinking plenty of water: the most serious complication from fever is dehydration and this is common.

Finally, you should keep monitoring your temperature to ensure that it doesn’t get too high – in which case you should speak with a physician.
