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?

Raised liver enzymes with persistent fever may suggest viral hepatitis or drug induced hepatitis. Re evaluate antibiotics. Consider hospitalization for IV management. Kindly get LFT, Dengue, Typhidot, Viral hepatitis panel done.

Sir, I recently underwent a package of various tests, and my liver function test results show values outside the reference range. I do not observe any symptoms in my body, and I do not consume alcohol. Could you please guide me on what this might indicate and if I need any further evaluation?

I am a COVID recovered patient (recovered about one month ago). I recently received my liver function test results, which show that AST/SGOT is 44 and ALT/SGPT is 84, both slightly above the normal range. Could you please advise if this is something I should be concerned about? Is it possibly related to the recent COVID 19 infection, or should I undergo further tests or treatment?
