Your doctor will ask for your medical history and details about your symptoms. Tell your doctor about any recent travel. Tell them if you think you might have had contact with water contaminated by sewage.
Your doctor will use a blood test or a stool test to diagnose hepatitis E.
In most cases, hepatitis E goes away on its own in about 4-6 weeks. These steps can help ease your symptoms:
Rest
Eat healthy foods
Drink lots of water
Avoid alcohol
Check with your doctor before you take any medicine that may damage your liver, such as acetaminophen.
If you’re pregnant, your doctor may keep you under watch in the hospital. If your condition is serious, you may get medicine to fight the infection.
