Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
From your description it seems that your liver enzymes are out of range and the doctor is suspecting a viral hepatitis. Since the results of hepatitis are awaited, he has asked you not to share cups, etc till that time. Most likely he is suspecting Hepatitis A. This is not a XXXXXXX illness. There is nothing to worry. It usually subsides in 7-10 days.
These following measures would be helpful in this regarding:
1) Avoid oily and spicy food.
2) Avoid fatty foods like eggs, meat
3) Low salt diet
4) Medications for better liver function which would be prescribed by your treating physician.
5) Maintain hygiene.
The next line of action of your physician depends on the test reports.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
