Hello, I understand your concern
About the LFT report, Mild ALP elevation is common in growing children due to active bone growth and is usually not a sign of liver disease. Other liver enzymes (SGOT/AST, SGPT/ALT), bilirubin, proteins are all normal, suggesting no liver dysfunction. So nothing to worry as of now.
Next Steps
The symptoms are likely due to an intestinal infection (viral or bacterial), not liver-related.
Ensure adequate hydration (ORS, coconut water, clear fluids).
Watch for blood in stool, high fever, or signs of dehydration (dry tongue, sunken eyes, lethargy).
Continue prescribed medications if any (e.g., probiotics, antibiotics if advised).
Maintain strict hand hygiene and safe food practices.
Health Tips
ALP need not be rechecked unless symptoms of liver or bone disease develop (e.g., jaundice, prolonged bone pain).
Recheck LFT only if advised by the pediatrician or if symptoms persist or worsen.
