39 Days Old Baby Has Disturbing LFT Test. Can I Ask A Doctor To Suggest Treatment Based On The Report ?

In the test, the TFT is normal but the LFT is disturbing, as under SGOT(AST)- 81 U/L SGPT( ALT )- 48 U/L GGTP- 295 U/L Alkaline Phosphate (ALP)- 548 U/L Billirubin, Total- 14.80 mg/dl Billirubin, Direct- 0.90 mg/dl Billirubin, Indirect- 13.90 mg/dl Protein , Total- 4.90 g/dl Albumin - 3.60 g/dl A:G Ratio- 2.77 Please help if it is really disturbing. Otherwise doctor says that everything is normal as he has grown almost a kg since birth and taking breast feed regularly.
