Hepatitis in Children

Hepatitis in children refers to inflammation of the liver, often caused by viral infections but can also result from other factors like autoimmune diseases or toxins. Symptoms can range from mild, like fatigue, to more severe, including jaundice, dark urine, and pale stools. Hepatitis A is typically acute and resolves on its own, while hepatitis B and C can become chronic and lead to long-term liver damage.
