Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Viral hepatitis will resolve in two weeks, but the associated symptoms like weakness and loss interest in foods may persist for long. Do a liver function test (LFT) to assess the bilirubin and enzymes. If it found persistently elevated, consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
