Most infants and children with hepatitis B never develop signs and symptoms. The same is true for many adults. Signs and symptoms usually appear four to six weeks after you're infected and can range from mild to severe. They may include some or all of the following:
Loss of appetite
Nausea and vomiting
Weakness and fatigue
Abdominal pain, especially around your liver
Dark urine
Yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes (jaundice)
Joint pain
Hepatitis B can damage your liver — and spread to other people — even if you don't have any signs and symptoms. That's why it's important to be tested if you think you've been exposed to hepatitis B or you engage in behavior that puts you at risk.

Only through a blood test. I noticed that you have posted three questions about the same thing. I think you are freaking out over nothing. Calm down.
