Question

My sister has been feeling unwell and someone suggested she might have hepatitis. What does hepatitis generally feel like? Are there specific symptoms one should look out for?

Beta, it usually starts with extreme weakness, loss of appetite, and a heavy feeling in the right side of the stomach. While drinking light barley water can soothe the body, you must visit a doctor to get your liver checked properly.

It feels like you have a constant mild fever, zero appetite, and severe nausea. Eating bland khichdi helped my stomach, but the main recovery only happened with the doctor's specific viral medications.

It basically feels like a really bad flu combined with extreme fatigue and a heavy stomach. Make sure you don't push yourself to work and see a doctor to get the right treatment.

Preeti Sen · Answer

I totally get how draining it is when your body feels completely empty of energy and your eyes turn yellow. Please rest as much as possible and consult a physician to guide you through this difficult phase.

It feels like severe body ache and nausea, haan na, and you just don't feel like eating anything at all. Please go to a clinic and get a liver blood test done to know exactly what is wrong.

When I had it, I felt a deep, dull ache in my upper right abdomen and was constantly exhausted. My advice is to stop all physical strain, drink plenty of clean water, and strictly follow your doctor's prescription.
