I have a fever that comes and goes, mostly in the evening, along with weakness. According to blood report, my SGPT level is 78. I would like to know what medicine I should take for typhoid and how to manage the elevated SGPT?

A raised SGPT indicates mild liver stress, which can happen in typhoid. Continue medicines as prescribed and rest well. If the fever continues beyond 7 days, follow up with your doctor. Continue the course of antibiotics, repeat LFT, after the prescribed course of treatment, to check if liver function has returned to normal or better

Hi, I used to consume high levels of alcohol for 10 years. For the past 5 years, I have quit hard liquor but have beer 5 days a week, around 2 bottles of 650 ml each. I have fatty liver grade 1. SGOT is 37 and SGPT is 64. Total bilirubin is 0.6. All other liver parameters are normal. Will this fatty liver grade continue to progress? I swim for an hour 6 days a week, around 400 metres. I have been taking Reheptin 1 tab a day for 6 years.
