Question 1

My 16 year old son has been suffering from high fever (104F) and headache for the past 6 days. Yesterday we consulted a doctor. His CBC and urine reports are normal. Malaria and typhoid tests are negative. Platelet count is 1.75 lakhs, SGOT is 65, and SGPT is 70.
The doctor prescribed Dolo 650 (three times a day) and Mahacef Plus (twice a day). The fever temporarily decreases after Dolo but rises back to 104F after 4 hours.
What could be the reason for the persistent high fever and the increased SGOT and SGPT? What should be done next?

Question 2

My recent liver function test results are as follows:
Total Bilirubin is 1.82 mg per dL
AST (SGOT) is 63 IU per L
ALT (SGPT) is 156 IU per L
An USG report shows a normal liver size but Grade II fatty liver.
Could you please advise what medications or lifestyle changes I should follow?

Question 3

I have been experiencing itching on the inner palms for the past 3 days. I do not have diabetes or high cholesterol. I take Atenolol and Amlodipine daily and have no other health issues. I also maintain daily walking and regular activities.

Based on my report, could someone please suggest the best medicine to cure the imbalance in my liver? I am not an alcoholic and I always take a healthy diet. It could be the medicine I have been taking for the past month for my back pain that caused it? Kindly suggest.

Yes, some medications can mildly affect liver function. If you are eating healthy and not drinking, it is likely temporary. Stay hydrated and follow up in a few weeks.
