Panicking about high liver enzymes after antibiotics.,

[christy67]

I’m had the worst month. I got a sinus infection and was treated with amoxicillin. Then I got an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin. During this time my blood was taken and my liver enzymes came back high. I was also taking a lot of pain killer for headaches at the time. My doctor isn’t too concerned but I can’t get retested for three months. I am a total mess thinking the worst. Anyone have high levels eventually come back okay?

Yes loads of people do all the time

We have quite a few posts on here that you could read if they will reassure you further

My liver enzymes were high in January. Retested 6 weeks later- normal! This is a regular occurrence for me (every couple of years or so) no other tests show anything wrong

Thanks for responding, Katie. Did they ever tell you why?

The Dr said it's most likely due to a combination of medicines but didnt ever seem concerned. Luckily my liver isn't on my worry list (as yet!)

I just wanted to follow up in case anyone has this issue in the future. After abstaining from alcohol and over-the-counter medication for a month my liver enzymes are returned to normal. Thanks all for those who replied when I was panicking. It helped!
