Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Based on your symptoms, an infection of the gut has to be excluded. This may require stool examination to look for bacterial or viral infections.

Mild enlargement of liver and elevation of liver enzymes can not explain all your symptoms. These findings may be due to the drugs or related to the current infection.

You may require a course of antibiotics such as norfloxacin.

Please discuss these with your doctor.

If you have any more queries, please get back.

Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine) DM (Neurology)
