Hi,
You havent given why your daughter need to take this medication for such a long duration.
SGPT is one of the liver enzyme values, you havnt given other values of the report.
Tylenol is paracetamol which is metabolized by liver. These liver enzymes increase when liver injury occurs like taking excessive drugs metabolized by liver.
Ibuprofen also metabolized by liver and it can also cause increase in liver enzyme values.
Normally reducing protein diet and having plenty of carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables with moderate amount of fats helps.
Since your description is heavily lacking of information, i am unable to help you to my potential.
Bye
