Many of the nonspecific prodromal symptoms may subside, but gastrointestinal symptoms may increase. Hepatomegaly and splenomegaly are also frequently seen. Symptoms disappear, but hepatomegaly and abnormal liver function values may persist. This phase can last for weeks or months, with recovery time for hepatitis types B and C generally being longer. There is no specific treatment for acute viral hepatitis.
Therapy is basically palliative and supportive.
A nutritious and high-calorie diet is advisable. Since infectious patients cannot necessarily be identified by history, it is necessary to manage all patients as though they are potentially infectious . The Center for Disease Control and the American Dental Association have published recommendations for infection control that have become the standard of care to prevent crossinfection in dental practice. These standards should be strictly adhered to. No treatment other than urgent care should be rendered to these patients.
