Hi ! Good evening. i am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Your result of SGPT is not very much abnormal to be worried about, and this does not confirm enlargement of liver, which could be confirmed only by a physical examination, and an ultrasound of abdomen. The pain you felt could be due to hyper acidity in your stomach. As a precaution, I would advise you not to eat from outside specially spicy and oily food, and go for a proton pump inhibitor drug at least for six weeks. In the meantime, I would advise you not to eat from outside and avoid any kind of aerated and alcoholic drink if you do. If the pain increases or is not relieved, then I would advise you to visit your family physician or an emergency room nearby if need be.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
