Hight AST of 401 and ALT 73

Hight AST of 401 and ALT 73

Hi, I had negative Liver Function Test esults on my AST of 401 and ALT of 73. I was at my doctor's for a wound check of a dog bite I'd received 2 days prior.  I had to go to the ER for the dog bite and due to the delay and deepness of the puncture, I was given 100ml of IV Antibiotics to boost me against infection and also prescription Ibuprophren and oral antibiotics. I had additional liver tests done yesterday and am in the waiting stage.  The tests have a month between them.  Isn't it probable that my AST/ALT increase is due to the drugs?  I'm expecting to have normal AST/ALT lab results returned on this second go around.  Can I go back to a normal range if the drugs clear my body?  Or did I suffer some type of liver injury?  Thanks for any insight or general info of your opinion on this.

A little info about me: I am 49, Female, ride my bicycle everyday(don't own a car), dog walker by profession, very active and in good shape.  Use to run races, did a triathlon in 2007.  Drink socially, probably 1 or 2x every week. Vegetarian.  My total cholesterol is good at 209 with my HDL at 82 and LDL at 110, my blood pressure is perfect, 112/70.  All other lab results were fine.  My doctor has ordered testing for Hep. A, B and C and another specific LFT.
