Are all hepatitis curable?

My friend recently recovered from a type of hepatitis, and it got me thinking. I know there are different types of hepatitis, like A, B, and C. Are all forms of hepatitis curable, or do some require lifelong management?

I have been reading about this and I am really worried. Is it true that some types like Hepatitis B can stay in the body forever? Has anyone here managed it successfully without complications, please let me know.

In my time, we didn't have such advanced medicines, but today science has progressed so much. While Hepatitis A and C are highly curable now, Hepatitis B can be managed very well with modern daily medications. Don't lose hope and consult a good gastroenterologist.

I totally get it, hearing the word Hepatitis can be very scary and stressful. But please remember that Hepatitis A usually goes away on its own, and Hepatitis C has excellent cure rates now with direct antiviral drugs. Talk to a specialist who can guide you gently.

My cousin had Hepatitis A last year from drinking dirty water outside. He was yellow and weak for a month, but with proper doctor's guidance, complete bed rest, and zero oily food, he recovered fully. It depends entirely on which type you have, so get tested.

To be honest, my biology is a bit weak, but I know for sure they aren't all cured the same way. Some types need proper medical courses while others just need rest and light food. Avoid searching on Google at 2 AM, it only gives you a headache.
