What Does High AST And ALT Levels Indicate?

MY son, 9, has ASO AB 778. The pediatrician prescribed penecillin. I noticed on the blood test results AST35 H and ALT39 H. Why would these last two levels be high and should I bring these numbers to the attention of the pediatrician who may have inadvertently overlooked these two numbers? Thank you in advance.
