Hi, In hepatitis A convalescent period is seen where resolution of the disease is slow, but patient recovery is uneventful and complete. Relapsing hepatitis occurs in 3 - 20% of patients 4 to 15 weeks after the initial symptoms have resolved. Homeostatic hepatitis with high bilirubin levels persisting for months is also occasionally observed. Chronic sequela with persistence of hepatitis A infection for more than 12 months are not observed. Since you are having mildly elevated bilirubin after seven months, it is suggested that you maintain proper diet with low oil and preferably home cooked and get bilirubin levels repeated after 3 months
