Brief Answer:
Hello dear. There is nothing to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the reports. First of all, there is nothing to worry. Continue iron supplement for another 2 months before any appreciable results on blood test. Avoid tea and milk at the time of iron tablet, as it will interfere with the absorption of iron. Hepatitis A igG is positive, that means, you already have immunity against
and not an infection, hence no need to worry.
Kind regards.

Brief Answer:
Hello. Alcohol does not cause hepatitis A
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. As I said, you don't have hepatitis. IgG positive means you have protective antibody against hepatitis A virus and won't develop it if infection occurs. It is a good sign. Moreover, alcohol does not cause hepatitis A.
Kind regards
Hope u understand now.
