Hi welcome to HCM.
Lung infections can occasionally lead to elevations of SGPT.This does not mean hepatitis per se.It will subside with time.Elevated cholesterol should be treated in your case with diet and drugs if needed.Regular physical exercise and limitation of fat diet leads to correction of the lipid abnormalities.Statins are needed in refractory cases.The cough in your case will subside as the infection resolves completely.Elevated blood sugar needs anti diabetic drugs to manage.Consult your cardiologist for further help.
