welcome,
let us take one by one,
1-repeat S G P T every week ,if increasing, investigate for L F T ,HEPATITIS A & B,
2MALARIA IS TREATED BY THESE MEDICINES,
3- elevated CRP values (> 40 mg/l) are typical for bacterial infections, but may also be recorded in some viral infections
4-though general condition is improving ,we should wait & watch,
do not start antibiotics unnecessary with out confirming diagnosis,
it seems to be viral,
take good hygienic diet,
do exercise regularly
contact your doctor or ask me directly.
take care
