I've been dealing with hepatitis A since last month, and I've noticed my SGPT levels are all over the place, sticking around 60-90 for the past two weeks. It's like they go down a bit and then shoot back up again. I'm trying to be careful with a bland diet and haven't been physically active, just doing stuff on the computer. Any idea why this is happening? Is it normal for SGPT to take a while to stabilize?

SGPT fluctuating after Hepatitis A is fairly common as your liver heals. It can take a few weeks to a couple of months for the levels to normalize, depending on the severity of the infection and your overall health. Keep following your doctor's advice on diet, rest, and lifestyle, and avoid any additional strain on your liver. If you continue to see fluctuations or have concerns, your doctor may recommend further testing to ensure full recovery.

My dad is having loose motion and vomiting right now, and it all seemed to kick in at the same time. It's really late, and we don't have any medicine at home, plus all the pharmacies are closed. Do you know of any home remedies that might help him feel better?

For loose motion and vomiting, you can try giving your father oral rehydration solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. You can make ORS at home by mixing 6 teaspoons of sugar and 12 teaspoon of salt in 1 liter of clean water. Make sure he drinks plenty of this solution to stay hydrated. Please consult a doctor in the morning for further evaluation and management.
