Hi dear..no there is no chance of jaundice now based on your S.G.P.T levels as
its been elevated due to your medication and its part of drug metabolism in your body so nothing to worry..it will take some time to recover from typhoid and get effects of antibiotics so meanwhile take plenty of fluids and avoid high protein and fatty diet. hope this will help thanks and regards Dr.Sohil
