Liver function tests can be elevated for a multitude of reasons, and some may be related to viral infections or problems secondary to toxemia of pregnancy. These abnormalities due to viral causes can be identified by testing, and those due to pregnancy itself will soon resolve. Another test in a month or two may reduce your physician's concerns by returning to normal.

Your test results are just above normal and not a reason to "freak" out. Do not take acetaminophen, abstain from alcohol and retest in about 3 months. If you are overweight, losing weight would help. Wish you good health!

In addition to Dr. Singh's excellent answer, know that dental pain usually means a severe infection. You must see your Dentist immediately to cure the infection, not take pills to mask the symptoms as the infection worsens and spreads.
