What are common symptoms of Hepatitis A?

• A. Pain in the right abdomen, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, jaundice, and fever
• B. Cough and fever
• C. Rash on trunk
• D. Shortness of breath

Answer: (A)

Hepatitis A typically causes acute inflammation of the liver, which shows up as signs of liver dysfunction plus general illness. The combination of pain in the right upper abdomen from liver inflammation, nausea and vomiting, dark urine due to elevated bilirubin, jaundice, and fever fits this pattern well. These symptoms reflect liver involvement and systemic illness that comes with acute viral hepatitis. Cough and fever alone point more toward a respiratory infection, a rash on the trunk to skin or viral exanthems, and shortness of breath suggests lung or heart issues. They don’t align with the classic cluster of liver-specific symptoms seen in Hepatitis A.
