What is the difference between Hepatitis A,B,And C and what could possibly be the symptoms?

All are forms of hepatitis which basically means "swollen liver". What makes each different is the type of virus you get infected with.

A and B are passed along by contaminated food, liquids and bodily fluids. Both have vaccines.

Hepatitis C is passed along through blood to blood contact only. Meaning an open wound on your body must come into contact with the contaminated blood. It however doesn't have a vaccine yet, although is treatable via 24-48 weeks of shots and pills.

A and B are also DNA type viruses and C is an RNA type virus. Since they all affect the liver the same way, the symptoms should pretty much all be the same.

Intestinal discomfort/pain mostly on the right side at the bottom of your rib cage
