Hep A or Toxic Hep?

Hep A or Toxic Hep?

  Recently I became ill with symptoms of stomach act, intermittent nausea, dark urine, diarreha, and itchness all ove my body.  I went to my doctor who suggested that I have Hepatitis A most likely.  He ran some blood work and had a ultrasound done to rule out gall stones, which it did.  I also had been taking Augmentin 875 mg 2x/day for 10 days which was given for a sinus infection.  My doctor sad that I could have developed a toxic reaction to the antibotic (antibiotic) and gotten toxic hepetitis (hepatitis).  Some of my blood work came back and he said if I had hepatitis my liver enxymes would be in the 1000's.  However, he said it was only 116.  He seems to be a little puzzled and says that it could still be a toxic reaction but it could be gall stones still.  Thus, i have to go back for more blood work in a few days and it is not normal he wants me to see a GI doctor.  
  My question is should I be worried with a 116 enzyme level that is could be something worse than hepetitis (hepatitis) and also if it is a toxic reaction to the Augmenten is there anything I can do.  If it is gall stones what can I do?  I have begun in the last few days to fell better though my urine still is quite dark.
  Thank you very much for any information you can provide!
