But off late in the last 2 to 3 days the itching has ncreased to such an extent that am not able to sleep.My SGOT and SGPT levels are in range.

Itching is because Of bilirubin Bound to the tissues. Even if ur labs are normal,it will take time for your tissue Bound bilirubin to go. Thus the itching can continue for a while
