Hi there,
Thanks for posting your query.
It usually takes 2-3 months for complete recovery from hepatitis A infection.
In a subset of patients, it may prolong a little more.
Since your bilirubin level had a second rise, other causes of liver injury should be ruled out.
Other viral infections like Hepatitis B and C should be tested.
Try to avoid alcohol and also medications that affect the liver.
In addition to udiliv , also take silymarin after consulting your doctor.
I hope that answers your query.
