Hi thanks for asking question in health care magic.
You were suffered from viral infection like chicken pox and dengue .so liver might be secondarily affected and gives high level of sgpt and sgot.
Now after resolving from both these condition within few days level of this enzymes should be lower down in few days.
So after few days repeat level of both.if it is still high then possibilities of viral hepatitis and for that viral marker has to be done.
Particularly HBSag elevated after 6 month then it is because of chronic carrier of hepatitis b.
Meanwhile maintain healthy diet.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
I find this answer helpful
