What Are Hep A Symptoms?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. Abdominal Pain
Considering the liver is located in the abdomen, it makes sense that an infection of the organ will result in pain in that area. Pain, and other types of discomfort, are a fairly common symptom of hepatitis A, and the severity of the pain can vary from patient to patient.
The pain will be felt specifically just beneath where the ribcage ends and on the right hand side of the abdomen. If the symptom does become unbearable then it could be a sign of something very serious, so severe cases of pain in the area should encourage you to see a medical professional.
