Hello
Your findings suggests mildly increased spleen size.Upper limit of spleen size is 11.5 cm.
Generally this is a benign finding and it may be due to recent malaria,typhoid fever etc.
This condition generally doesn't need any treatment.
You may need clinical correlation and routine investigations like routine hemogram.
I don't think you need further consultation if you don't have symptoms.
Get well soon.
Take Care
