Welcome
Jaundice can occur if:
•     Viral hepatitis A, B, C, D & E
•     Red blood cell destruction - hemolysis
•     Bilirubin from the liver is unable to move into the digestive tract properly – obstruction
Treatment depends on the cause of jaundice. Jaundice that occurs due to hemolysis may be treated by elevating the iron levels in the blood through iron supplements or with the intake of foods rich in iron. Jaundice due to viral hepatitis B & C may be treated with anti-viral medications. Jaundice due to viral hepatitis A & E is treated conservatively by liver tonics such as Liv-52. Surgery may be required in cases of jaundice caused by obstruction. In some cases, jaundice may even develop as a result of, as a side effect from certain medications. In such cases, the jaundice may be treated by altering the dosage or changing the medication. As you are telling that your that your bilirubin is under control and SGPT is still slightly raised. I think you are in recovery phase. It will take some time to recover fully. You might feel weakness during this period but it will recover.
Advise
1.     Take proper rest. Do not involve in strenuous activity for few months.
2.     Make sure that you drink clean, uncontaminated water
3.     Take vegetables and fruit juice.
4.     Avoid alcohol and medicines known to cause liver damage such as paracetamol
5.     Divide your meals into smaller portions and eat them frequently during the day
6.     Avoid oily & spicy food
7.     Investigations – Serum bilirubin, SGPT/SGOT, Hb%, HBV/HCV screening
Good luck
