Trust your doctor: No need to panic, your child is healthy, some slight elevation in one liver enzyme, which is still in range, is acceptable and happens for a multitude of common reasons, as drugs like acetaminophen , overweight, simple viral infection. Relax and trust your child's doctor, your child is and will be fine
