My father was talking about different infections, and he was confused about hepatitis A. Could you please clarify if hepatitis A is a virus or bacteria? He keeps mixing them up.

Oh, back in my days, we used to call it jaundice sometimes, but the doctors always clarified it's a virus. My neighbor's child got it from contaminated water. So, it's viral, dear, not bacterial. Don't worry too much, just be careful.

It's a virus. When I visit my family doctor at Apollo, I always ask him everything. He said Hepatitis A, B, C all are viral. If you have any specific concerns, best to ask your own doctor directly, they can explain in detail.

Hepatitis is a virus, yes. For anyone, but especially for those managing conditions like diabetes, it's crucial to be very careful with hygiene and food to avoid any viral infections. Always check with your doctor for guidance on diet and prevention.

It's a virus, plain and simple. Don't fall for WhatsApp forwards or home remedies claiming to cure viral infections without a doctor. Always verify with a proper medical professional for diagnosis and treatment.
