Hello and welcome to HCM
Hepatitis A infection does not cause chronicity so it usually clears away with medication.
Medication has cleared away the infection so all your liver function tests are within normal limits.
However, the entire disease process causes lot of weakness.
It may take some more time to recover completely.
Take care of your diet. Take nutritious food and enough calories.
Start with your running practice slowly over a period of time.
Thanks and take care
