Help? Yes.: There are no specific medicines that can cure hepatitis d. Treatment for acute hepatitis d is supportive care to deal with symptoms or complications that may occur. Even without treatment for acute hepatitis d, most people recover completely within a few months. You need rest, hydration, sufficient calories, regular exercise, protect liver. There are no drugs approved to treat chronic hep d.
