A member asked:

My 1 year old daughter had sudden nausea and vomitting and diarrhea that lasted about 36 hours. she seems to be ok now. however my brother just got diagnosed with hepatitis a and they are in contact everyday. do i need to worry ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: What your daughter experienced sounds like a typical gut virus which kids that age have 1-3X/yr. Hep A usually comes on as unexplained jaundice after someone has been infected. You should contact your doc as they sometimes give gamma globulin to exposed persons to prevent an outbreak.
