Hello, subbubhutani, You probably have Hepatitis-A infection. This is usually coming from eating contaminated food or Chat Doctor. The course usually lasts for 4-6 weeks till all the blood work returns to normal, and you start feeling back to normal. I am sure you will do fine and recover in time. This type hepatitis does not cause chronic liver disease or damage. If your stomach is still upset, you can take a tablet omeprazole 20 mg. which you can buy over the counter. Take it about an hour to hour and a half before you eat in the morning. I want you to avoid fatty, greasy, fried foods. But you can haveicecream, milk shake, hard candies etc. You need a good high protein diet. Eat fresh fruits like grapes, oranges, apple etc. Try to rest for an hour in the afternoon. I also want you to take a Super B-Complex Vitamin along with1000 mg. of Vital daily. I am sure you will be able to study for your boards and come outing flying colors. I wish you well.
