With regard to hepatitis C, antiviral medications exists that slow the progression of liver damage, and it is vital that you stay away from Alcoholic Beverages.
Hepatitis A is considered self limiting. What that means is that the average person's immune system will clear the infection without much intervention. Hep A is transmitted via fecal-oral route. It's the 'better' one to have if you have to have a viral hepatitis, so to speak.
There's a small chance of curing it. Some medication is used. (ribavirn and PEG-Intron)
There are increasingly effective treatments becoming available that can clear the virus in approximately half those treated. The treatment is usually with a combination of two drugs, interferon and ribavirin. Even if the treatment does not clear the virus, it may still slow down the progression of inflammation and liver damage. Treatment usually lasts for six or twelve months.
The medicines used to treat hepatitis C can have a number of side effects, which are often worse at the beginning of treatment. These side effects may be intolerable for some people. These include flu-like symptoms, such as tiredness, headaches and aches and pains. Other side effects include nausea, depression, and skin rashes.
The medicines are not suitable if you have certain other medical conditions, or are pregnant.
If the virus is cleared with treatment, you are not immune to future infections of hepatitis C. Continuing to inject drugs after taking the medicines risks re-infection.

There actually is no "cure" for Hepatitis A--it generally ends by itself after a period of time (can be up to 6 months). However there are things that can be done to reduce symptoms:
-eating a well-balanced diet with proper hydration and cutting out fatty foods and alcohol can help with abdominal pain and nausea.
-antiemetic drugs can be taken to prevent vomiting and nausea
-acetaminophen can be taken to help reduce fever and stomach pain
-sometimes, the drug BayGam can be taken for preventative measure, however its effects are typically not strong unless taken very soon after exposure to hepatitis A.
Hepatitis means "liver inflammation". The cure for Hepatitis A or B is time because in most case the body is able to fight the hepatitis virus. There are vaccines that can prevent Hepatitis A or B. There is no cure for Hepatitis C but drug treatment is available for people who are likely to develop liver problems.
Hepatatis is not curable but is treatable and preventable.
It depends what is causing the hepatitis.
They are sometimes caused by a virus. They can be prevented with a vaccine. Hep A and B can cause swelling or inflammation, and possible damage, to the liver. Hepat= liver itis= swelling, inflammation Thus: hepatitis= swelling or inflammation of the liver. There is also Hep C which is very hard and in some cases impossible to cure, and Hep C has no vaccine. Fortunately it is more rare to contract Hep C (mostly IV drug users or unprotected anal sex).

My dentist put me on clindamycin and I have hep c. He would not tell me if it would effect my hep c. I took it as directed but ended up stopping because it made me feel horrible, flaring up my hep c more than I could handle so I did not finish the script.
