Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have hepatitis A. Your bilirubin level is high. Itching is common due to high bilirubin.
You should take treatment of hepatitis A. Take low fat diet with high protein. Avoid alcohol and smoking. Drugs like liv 52 or udiliv are useful.
Your bilirubin level will start decreasing within 2 or 3 days.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
