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.

Hi Sir or Mam please review my report and I request you to let me know if I am having cirrhosis of the liver. Are my reports okay and what does it mean by diffusely coarse parenchymal echotexture and increase in parenchymal echogenicity? Thanks in advance.

I have been suffering from jaundice for the past 7 weeks. Initially, my bilirubin was 10?mg/dL. After 4 weeks, it decreased to 2.08?mg/dL, but now it has increased again to 2.3?mg/dL. My SGOT and SGPT levels have also risen. Could you please advise how to bring my bilirubin, SGOT, and SGPT back to normal?
