How is hepatitis a transferred?
My younger brother recently got diagnosed with jaundice, and my mother is very worried about hepatitis. Can you tell me how hepatitis A gets transferred so we can be careful at home?

It is mainly transferred through contaminated food and water. When you are recovering, keeping your diet very light and clean is key, and you should avoid heavy gym workouts until your liver enzymes are completely normal.

Hepatitis A spreads through contaminated food and water, which is my biggest nightmare because I love street food! I have had to stop eating roadside panipuri during the monsoon just to be safe from it.

Our hostel warden keeps warning us about Hep A because it spreads when someone doesn't wash their hands after using the washroom and then touches food. I always keep a hand sanitizer in my bag now.

Don't stress too much, yaar. It basically spreads if you eat from unhygienic places where food or water got contaminated. Just drink boiled water, eat clean ghar ka khana, and wash your hands properly before eating.

It is spread through contaminated drinking water and unclean food. While drinking fresh coconut water and warm ginger water helps the body recover, please see a doctor immediately if you notice yellow eyes or dark urine.

Since it spreads through dirty food and water, we have to be extremely careful. For diabetics, catching an infection like Hepatitis A can mess up blood sugar levels badly, so eating fresh, thoroughly cooked meals at home is very important.
