I have been with this awful cough- can't find what it is. See other previous posts. CT, MRI, 2 pulmono

When I had my check up last week, my liver panel was evalated. The onc asked me if I was taken any cold meds and yes as a result of an infection, I have been on antibiotic (avalox), nyquil that has acetimanophen (tylenol). Mucinex 2xs a day-highest dosage

I have read to be careful with Tylenol. As a matter of fact during chemo, the onc asked me If I had taken it, and of course, due to headaches.

So the onc has me going back in about 4-5 weeks after I finish the antibiotic.

Let me add that the one that was elavated was Sgpt (ALT) that read 47 out of the top of the range at 42. I'm usually at 20s.

Has anyone experienced this? The onc did not seem to concerned but the best advocate for me is me! But now I am concerned if I have anything to worry about

Every time I took a product or prescription with acetaminophen my ALT levels jumped into the 100+ range. I could track it easily. I stopped taking anything with acetaminophen by my 2nd mo. of treatment.
