Hi pal, Welcome to Chat Doctor ! Your liver function test does support the diagnosis of jaundice, although you have not told the GOT/SGPT Report-if they are also normal then probably you don't have hepatitis also. But if is the liver enzymes are raised then your doctor is right that is the initial phase of jaundice. Your fever and jaundice(if it is there really) are symptoms of the disease and not the disease itself. You may be having hepatotropic viral infection, malaria, cholangitis, enteric fever as a cause behind the syn Chat Doctor. You need a physical examination by your physician and get baseline investigations like Chest X-Ray, Electrocardiogram, Complete Blood Counts, Renal Function Test, Repeat Liver Function Test, Ultrasound Abdomen, Urine Compete Examination. This work up is expected to detect the underlying problem, so a definite treatment could be started. I hope this advice would be helpful for you. Still if you have any queries or doubts, please write me back, I would be happy to solve them. Wish you a great health!
