Hello, I had gone through your question carefully and i will try my best to resolve it.
In most cases of acute hepatitis, no treatment is required. Just take enough rest, proper diet and fluid, glucose water, avoid alcohol and let your body's immune system to fight with the infection. Repeat your SGPT levels and if its on the decreasing side, then you are recovering and wait for few more days.
In case you are diagnosed with chronic hepatitis, then you require few medications to avoid liver injury and transmission of infection to others. You require antiviral medicines like lamivudine. You can also have interferon to fight the infection. As all these are prescription medicines, you need to consult your doctor and let him decide which is better treatment for you.
Hope this will help you and feel free to ask any of your follow up questions, i will be happy to guide you in right direction.
