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

Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

I got my blood report and my SGOT AST level is 47.2 U/L while the normal reference is up to 35. My lipase level is also high at about 70.83 U/L while the normal reference is up to 60. What should I do? Please suggest and tell me what diet I should maintain.

Hi, my report says SGPT 54, SGOT 106, fatty liver grade 2. I have a history of alcohol consumption (2 or 3 pegs a week). I also consume omega 6 capsule daily. I am following a diet but am confused about what to avoid. Currently, I am not taking any masala, salt, sugar, or any type of junk food. Any suggestions?
