If the enzymes are increasing , then the cause of hepatitis had to be established first. So that the exact treatment of the cause can be done , then only the enzymes will start falling down. To comment further, I need to know his sensorium, INR, complete LFT report, CBC and ultrasound report
Next Steps
do viral markers testing( Hbs Ag, anti HCV), IgM anti HAV and HEV, cultures blood and urine.
he should refrain from taking alcohol.
