Today is the World Hepatitis Day.

Signs and symptoms of hepatitis B range from mild to severe. They usually appear about one to four months after an individual has been infected, although the symptoms could see them as early as two weeks post-infection.

Doctors warn that some people, usually young children, may not have any symptoms, even when they have been infected.

Hepatitis B signs and symptoms may include:

• Abdominal pain

• Dark urine

• Fever

• Joint pain

• Loss of appetite

• Nausea and vomiting

• Weakness and fatigue

• Yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes (jaundice)
