Recovery time ? Treatment
I need to travel from XXXXXXX to XXXXXXX meeting from 17 to 20th may ? I cannot miss meeting at any cost ? Can I do so ?
Can attend if you are otherwise in good health.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
The liver enzymes SGOT and SGPT can rise due to a number of reasons. Alcoholism, infective hepatitis or autoimmune hepatitis are some of the common common causes. The cause needs to be investigated upon. The management and the recovery time would depend upon the underlying cause. Still it can take a month or more for recovery to occur.
Treatment of acute hepatitis is generally supportive, which may or may not require hospitalization. Rest and managing symptoms are the primary goals of therapy. In other words, no active intervention is required to bring down the liver enzymes. Additional follow-up blood tests are needed to confirm recovery from an acute infection.
If you are not actively suffering, it should not be a problem to go and attend the meeting (it seems that you have inadvertently given erroneous dates but the date would not matter).
Regards

How is my recovery as per second left?
Wat can I eat to speed up my recovery ?
Eat light.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. I have checked the subsequent report and indeed you seem to be recovering well. Just continue to take a light diet (I presume that you are doing it already). Nothing else needs to be done or taken except for avoidance of exertion.
Regards
