What is Hepatitis?
Treatment
In around 25% of people, the body will eliminate the virus over time. In others, however, it can remain in the body and become chronic.According to the CDC, a doctor will not treat hepatitis C unless chronic hepatitis develops. Then, they may prescribe a course of oral medication for 8–12 weeks, after which 9 out of 10 people will no longer have symptoms. Combination therapy can eliminate the virus in some people with certain strains of the virus. As with other types of hepatitis, people who have hepatitis C should avoid alcohol.
