Suggest Treatment For Cold & Sore Throat
ALT showed higher than normal in two previous analysis; the first was in June 2010 and it was 62. The second was around 10 days ago and it was 97. I went to another lab yesterday and had Bilirubin total (0.72), AST (25), ALT (49), Albumin (4.20), and LDH (199) which are all in normal ranges. Except GGT which was 128 and marked as high.
After the second analysys of the ALT (10 days ago) the doctor prescribed a medicine called "Essential Forte" which contains phospholipids from soy beans (he said it was a fatty liver after seeing ALT scoring 97).
Currently I am suffering from a bad cold, sore throught, had swallow and thick saliva in my mough as well as phlegm. I fee fatigue and always want to sleep. Could this be HCMV related or is it liver related?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
You had elevated liver enzymes in past..
So it could be liver related problem.like fatty liver or gall stone etc....
Or it could be by cytomegalovirus like infection....
Just now treat your flu like infection symptomatically....
More water.
Steam inhalation useful...
Take decongestent like oxymetazoline and cetrizine....
Humidifier can used for cold climate.
Take amoxyclav antibiotic...
If after few days liver enzymes elevated then USG abdomen and viral marker study and LFT profile done for diagnosis liver pathology....
Take care
