I am not a medical person none of us here are and cannot make any medical decisions or diagnose a medical condition.
No idea if, when or how to lower bilirubin levels. I do know that lower SGPT levels are better than higher. What is the normal range listed on your test results for these tests. What does your doctor say?
I did find this on a medical web site
High levels of bilirubin in the blood may be caused by:
Some infections, such as an infected gallbladder, or cholecystitis.
Some inherited diseases, such as Gilbert's syndrome, a condition that affects how the liver processes bilirubin. Although jaundice may occur in some people with Gilbert's syndrome, the condition is not harmful.
Diseases that cause liver damage, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or mononucleosis.
Diseases that cause blockage of the bile ducts, such as gallstones or cancer of the pancreas.
Rapid destruction of red blood cells in the blood, such as from sickle cell disease or an allergic reaction to blood received during a transfusion (called a transfusion reaction).
Medicines that may increase bilirubin levels. This includes many antibiotics, some types of birth control pills, diazepam (Valium), flurazepam, indomethacin (Indocin), and phenytoin (Dilantin).
Just to repeat the first person you should ask these questions is a doctor vs asking laypersons on the Internet. I cannot offering advise or suggestions he guarding your healt or health care.
Only your doctor can give you medical recommendations.

What does your doctor say? We here are not doctors or medical workers of any type and cannot diagnosis anyone's medical condition. If you are concerned about hepatitis the first step would be to have a test for hepatitis antibodies I don't know about hepatitis b I think they have other tests for diagnosis but for hep c it would be a hep c antibody test then if that is positive you would have a test to confirm you are currently infected by having the HCV RNA by PCR test that looks for the actual virus not just antibodies.
I have no idea what the S Typhi o and S Typhi h tests are I have never had those tests. I just goggled them and it looks like those are for Typhoid fever and that those maybe normal results but I am not sure.
Do you have a reason to believe you were exposed to hepatitis?
But in any event ask a doctor for a factual an accurate answer.
