ESR is a non-specific test and can rise in any infection as an acute phase reactant. Neglect it.
SGOT rise is also very very minimal and is not worrisome. >40 is usually abnormal.
It may rise in many viral illnesses. Its importance is to be considered along with other tests and clinical picture altogether.

Having Fever. Elevated SGOT And ESR Levels. What Does This Indicate?
Dear friend, welcome to HCM! ESR is a non-specific test and can rise in any infection as an acute phase reactant. Neglect it. SGOT rise is also very very minimal and is not worrisome. 40 is usually abnormal. It may rise in many viral illnesses. Its importance is to be considered along with other tests and clinical picture altogether. Presently see no worry. Keep a watch on jaundice. Take care and please keep me informed of your progress. Good Luck! I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily. Thank you!
