Is hepatitis a bacterial or viral?

My cousin recently got hepatitis A and I'm trying to understand more about it. Is it a bacterial infection or a viral one? Knowing the type would help me grasp it better.

Hepatitis A is viral. Just like thyroid conditions, managing viral infections requires regular doctor follow-ups and blood tests to monitor how your body is recovering.

When I got sick with jaundice, the doctor told me it was Hepatitis A, which is a viral infection. I just rested and ate simple food as advised by my physician.

It is viral. Please do not try to treat it at home; I had severe complications because I thought it would go away on its own. See a doctor immediately.

It's viral! 🦠 Make sure to drink plenty of clean fluids and get lots of rest so your body can fight it off nicely! 😊

Look, it is viral, not bacterial. So don't go popping random antibiotics from the local chemist because they won't work. Go to a clinic and get it checked.
