Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..
Mild hepatomegaly with fatty infiltration mean that your liver size is enlarged & there is fatty mass seen in liver. This normally shows Fatty liver disease in you.
fatty liver disease is mainly caused due to chronic alcoholism. If you consume alcohol, then this should be the cause of this problem & alcohol consumption should be stopped. Other less common causes of fatty liver include diabetes, high cholesterol in blood & Obesity.
Refer to a physician
Hope this information helps
