Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Hepatitis E is a waterborne cause of infective viral hepatitis (similar to Hepatitis A) and recovers with rest and light diet.

Let me try to answer your queries one by one:
1. No.
2. Rest means less physical activity and intake of bland diet.
3. You can start playing after a fortnight.
4.. After getting cured you can simply return to your normal life. It is still advisable to eat light.

Let me know in case you have further queries.
