What causes and how to recognize early phases of hepatitis ?

Question

especially the one which is hardest to diagnose early.

I smoked cigarette leftovers from the ground and soon after i got this irritating thing in my throat which lasts almost a month from now and makes me constantly to spit.

My question is, what could it be. could it be hepatitis ?

Answer 1

Hepatitis is a viral transmitted illness. There are currently 7 types of hepatitis. Hep A, hep b, hep c, hep d, hep e, hep f, and hep g. The most common types are A B and C. Hep A is transmitted through contact with contaminated f***s (p**p). All of the rest are transmitted by blood, blood tinged fluids or  sexual fluids. Hepatitis does not irritate the throat, this sounds more like a strep throat infection or even a herpes viral infection. Either way you should seek medical attention. You need antibiotics.  

Answer 2

could be throat irritation....hepatitis starts with poor appetutite,fatique and the skin turning yellowish and pale

Answer 3

Why are you smoking cigarettes from off of the floor? I mean... I have been desperate before and have smoked a few smalls ones out of an ashray in my own home and I think THAT is pathetic. To smoke them when they have been on the floor? eeeek.... Quit smoking, ASAP!

Answer 4

You almost certainly cannot get hepatitis from a cigarette on the floor. Hep B can be sexually transmitted  or from a needle stick, there has not been one documented case of Heb B obtained from a cigarette. Hep C is harder to catch, there has to be blood to blood contact. It is also the one that takes longer to seroconvert. Early phases of Hep B and C are fatigue (major fatigue), jaundice (yellowing of the skin, and whites of the eyes yellow), loss of appetite, weight loss, darkened urine, light stools that can be gray or whitish...1/2 the people have no symptoms, If you think you are exposed to any of the Hep viruses get tested at a local std clinic. Hep B has a vaccine to prevent it though there are some studies that say the Hep B vaccine can have some health consequences like Multiple Sclerosis in rare cases. Hep C is more often than not chronic, 15% or so clear the virus, 85% remaine chronic and lifelong, and Hep B clears itself in 95% of the cases. The other 5% is chronic and lifelong. I think you are ok but if in doubt get tested 3-4 months after exposure to be sure. Good luck, and good health.
