  • His urine is dark like tea
  • Pale stools like putty
  • transmission
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Superior abdominal pain
  • No appetite
  • Weight loss
  • Itchy skin
  • jaundice

The above symptoms will appear within 2 weeks to 1 month after contraction of the virus.
When to see a doctor

Patients are often not aware of the initial symptoms; therefore, patients usually only see their doctor when the color of their eyes and skin is yellow.

The first signs of jaundice are the color of urine, which becomes darker like tea, and the color of pale stools like putty, before discoloration of the skin and eyes occurs. It is advisable to consult a doctor if the first yellow symptoms appear.

Nausea, vomiting, and lack of appetite can cause dehydration and nutritional deficiencies. If there is absolutely no food or drink that can be consumed, patients must be hospitalized and given intravenously to meet their water and nutritional needs.
