Because of this, there are many people suffering from acute icteric hepatitis, and alcohol is one of the main causes of acute icteric hepatitis. When people get hepatitis, the first thing they think of is whether it is contagious. Now let’s talk about the ways in which acute icteric hepatitis is transmitted.

Acute icteric hepatitis transmission route

1. Icteric hepatitis is not transmitted through the digestive tract and respiratory tract, so it is generally not transmitted through daily contact such as shaking hands, hugging, working together, eating, etc.

2. The virus of icteric hepatitis will be excreted through urination and feces, and transmitted to others through hands, water, and food contaminated by flies.

3. When in contact with patients with icteric hepatitis, care should be taken to avoid damage to the skin and mucous membranes.

4. Failure to thoroughly disinfect dental fillings, shaving, pedicure, and medical equipment such as needles, oral instruments, and endoscopes may also cause the spread of icteric hepatitis.

Treatment of acute icteric hepatitis

1. General treatment: rest in bed, eat more protein-rich foods, eat more vitamin-rich foods, eat more easily digestible foods, eat more light foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and eat less fried and greasy foods.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Since each patient's condition is different, the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions used are also different. It is best for patients to see a doctor first, and then take the medicine on time and in the amount prescribed by the doctor. This can effectively relieve symptoms and reduce complications.

3. Antiviral treatment: Most patients do not need antiviral treatment, but a small number of patients may consider antiviral treatment. If the patient's illness lasts for more than 8 weeks and relapses, it is best to use antiviral therapy under the doctor's guidance. When using antiviral therapy, the use of cortical hormones is generally not recommended because they can damage the liver and affect appetite and drug absorption.
