4. What Are the Symptoms of Hep A?
Hepatitis A often causes several symptoms that can vary in severity from case to case. It takes a few weeks from infection for the symptoms to appear. Interestingly, some individuals who are exposed to the virus never experience any symptoms.
When symptoms do appear, they can include nausea, fever, and unusual bowel movements and urination. Affected people may also experience pain in their abdomen and loss of appetite. Jaundice or the development of a yellow hue in the skin and eyes is also a common symptom.
