Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
Unfortunately hepatitis is a viral infection, so antibiotics won't work.
Silymarin is a newer compound, available in syrup form, so you can discuss with your local physician and start treatment with Silymarin to prevent further liver damage.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.
