Many people with HAV infection have no symptoms at all. sometimes symptoms are so mild that they go unnoticed. Older people are more likely to have symptoms than children. People who do not have symptoms can still spread the virus.

Symptoms of hepatitis A usually develop between 2 and 6 weeks after infection. The symptoms are usually not too severe and go away on their own, over time. The most common symptoms are as follows:
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea, especially in children
Low-grade fever
Loss of appetite
Rash
Tiredness, fatigue
Jaundice – A yellow discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes
Urine is dark brownish in color, like cola or strong tea.
Pain in area of liver – on the right side of the abdomen, just under the rib cage

If the vomiting is severe, dehydration may occur. The symptoms of dehydration include the following:
Feeling weak, tired, or "blah"
Feeling confused or unable to concentrate
Rapid heartbeat
Headache
Urinating less frequently than usual
Irritability

Symptoms usually last less than 2 months, although they may last as long as 9 months. About 15% of people infected with hepatitis A have symptoms that come and go for 6-9 months.

Hepatitis does not occur simply from being near someone who has the disease at work or at school.

Symptoms of hepatitis A are often minor, and may be mistaken for a flu. some sufferers, especially children, may exhibit no symptoms at all. Symptoms typically appear 2 to 6 weeks after start of infection.
