General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Brief Answer
Acute Hepatitis
Detailed answer
hi
she is suffering from hepatitis (inflammation/ infection of the liver)
elevated level of SGOT and SGPT is suggestive of hepatitis
in further course of action i would like details to help you better
1. are her nail beds, conjunctiva ( eye) and tongue is colored yellow?
2. is she running fever?
3. does she have Decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting?

i am not convinced with the treatment her doctor has advised to her, SGOT and SGPT are not so elevated that requires injectable antiviral drugs.

i would suggest her lab tests like HbsAg and anti HCV antibodies and if HbsAg positive then serum markers of hepatitis B virus

meanwhile give her high glucose diet,
plenty of oral fluids and juices
avoid exertion
have fresh fruits

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
wish you good health
