Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Unfortunately it is impossible to make sgpt level normal in just 3 days. SGPT is a liver enzyme which gets elevated when some liver cells get damaged. And it takes about a month for liver cells to regenerate. So it takes at least a month to decrease SGPT level.

To do that your husband should modify his diet (avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, fried foods), avoid alcohol intake and do not take painkillers (like Acethaminophen).

Hope this will help.
Regards.
