I want to know my options for treating hepatitis a?

No specific Rx: Hepatitis a is usually a self limited illness and needs only supportive care. There are no drugs specifically for hep a virus.

None: Hepatitis a is rarely severe and full recovery is the rule rather than the exception without any treatment.. If particularly severe and requiring hospitalization some will use pooled gamma globulin for passive immunization/treatment. Most helpful is being immunized if you are likely to be exposed.
