Brief Answer:
Your child is suffering from viral hepatitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for asking on this platform
I have gone through the detail history and all the reports.The clinical examination in the prescription shows that the child has jaundice with enlarged liver.On the basis of clinical finding and history of frequent vomiting your physician has advised you the tests.The test reports are suggestive of viral hepatitis A(IgM HAV) with raised liver enzymes(SGOT/SGPT) and serum bilirubin.The prothrombin time is normal which indicates good prognosis.
The most common cause of Viral hepatitis A is consumption of contaminated food or water.The management is conservative.
I would suggest you to give multivitamin supplements with high carbohydrate(glucose water)low protein and low fat diet.Continue giving Liv 52,antibiotic and domstal(antiemetic).
Consult your pediatrician if there is frequent vomiting,bleeding from any site,black colored stool,excessive lethargy or irritability.
I hope your child would recover with all these measures in next few days.
I shall be glad to answer if you have any more query.
Regards
