Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. You are possibly suffering from malarial hepatitis, which is the reason for the increased ALT levels.
2. The nausea and vomiting is at present due to liver damage and once the malaria or other cause for hepatitis is evaluated and treated, you nausea and vomiting will come down.
3. ALT level to fall will take 3-4 weeks. The symptoms of nausea and vomiting will reduce once the causative agent is removed. Liver biopsy is necessary. Avoid taking alcohol or other hepatotoxic drugs. Watch out for anti-malarial drugs affecting the liver.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
