Other than rest, many people do not require specific medication for Hepatitis A, and can expect to make a full recovery within a few weeks or months. Once you have recovered from Hepatitis A, you should have immunity from the virus for the rest of your life. It remains important, however, that the infection is monitored, so as to ensure that a complete recovery has been achieved. To avoid passing the virus on, it is advisable to avoid alcohol and maintain high standards of personal hygiene.
