Brief Answer:
Repeat SGOT and SGPT

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Platelet count improvement indicates the dengue viral particles are removed from the body. There is no active infection for now.

But elevated liver enzymes indicate that there is a considerable but reversible amount of liver damage. This will recover over time, but you should keep repeating and checking the values.

For faster recovery, you may have to consider eating no spice and no fat diet.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
