Hepatitis A Medical Treatment

If a person becomes dehydrated, the doctor may prescribe IV fluids.
If a patient is experiencing significant nausea and vomiting, they will receive medicines to control these symptoms.
People whose symptoms are well controlled can be cared for at home.
If dehydration or other symptoms are severe, or if the patient is extremely confused or difficult to arouse, they will most likely be hospitalized.
