Hello
Increased bilirubin may be due to hepatitis.
It is important to know other parameters like SGPT,alkaline phosphatase level.
AST is non specific and it increases in many conditions.
You may need few investigations like routine hemogram,viral markers,ultrasound of abdomen and urine RE/ME.
You should avoid fatty food.
You may need to take few more medicines after full investigations.
Get well soon.
