high temperature above 40 affects the brain function and lead to seizures .. once temperature cool down the fits will go away and are unlikely to return unless temperature goes shooting high again.. as for high liver enzymes this indicates hepatitis which is inflammation of the liver.. this is probably what caused fever in the first place..
you need blood test to determine which type of hepatitis your child has..
