1. since infection was with Hepatitis A, thus route of transmission was faecal-oral route [infective], and good thing about Hepatitis A is that prognosis is excellent and severity is mild.
2. since bilirubin and enzyme level are returning towards normal, it implies that recovery has started.
3. Complete bed rest is very essential, till bilirubin is less than 1.5 mg% ,[3.5 in your case]

4. boiled water for all at home.
. personal hygiene and cleanliness [as feces are infectious]
. avoid close physical contact, avoid alcohol,sharing combs/razors.
. fat free diet, high carbohydrates, no oil/ghee and fried foods
. plenty of sweets, sugar, sugarcane juice.
. all hepatotoxic drugs should be stopped [ask for exhaustive list from your doctor]
. Regular surveillance on clinical parameters as well as liver function tests.
. Hepatitis A vaccine for post exposure prophylaxis.
PS. Vitamin K may be given for 3 consecutive days.
5. Take: old brown rice, moong/masoor/arhar dal, raw papaya/ banana, bitter gourd,potato,amla,pomegranate,black grapes, apple, mango, haritaki,butter milk,guduchi,orange juice,bottle gourd,radish,rest
Avoid: deep fried/oily food,peas,urad dal,mustard oil,spices,hinga,white sesame seeds,heavy food, day time sleeping, exercise,excessive anger/drinking water, chick pea flour.
