Doctor's answer (1)
Jaundice hepatitis is usually caused by viral infections. In general, acute jaundice hepatitis, such as that caused by hepatitis A, hepatitis E, or acute drug-induced liver injury, can be cured in most cases. Treatments for acute jaundice hepatitis include:
1. Rest: Adequate rest during the early stage of the illness helps liver recovery.
2. Diet: Maintain a balanced diet and avoid alcohol and greasy foods to reduce the burden on the liver.
3. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help eliminate toxins from the body.
4. Medications: Under a doctor's guidance, antiviral drugs may be used, especially for hepatitis B and C.
Chronic hepatitis may require antiviral therapy to suppress viral replication and prevent the development of cirrhosis and liver cancer. Regular monitoring of liver function and viral load is also necessary.
Whether jaundice hepatitis can be cured depends on the type of virus and the severity of the condition. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention, follow medical advice, and maintain healthy lifestyle habits.
