Treatment for acute hepatitis
Treatment depends on the cause, but is mostly supportive with adequate fluids and removal of the cause, such as alcohol. In the case of hepatitis virus infection, treatment can vary. Some forms of viral hepatitis improve on their own. Other hepatitis infections may be life-long and require special antiviral medications to attempt a cure. Hospitalization and regular follow-up may be needed to monitor the liver's well-being until it recovers.
