Hi,
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern.
Do not panic.
Mild splenomegaly can be due mild infections.
It is a vague finding unless associated with some specific symptoms like fever,jaundice,distention of abdomen or anemia.In these cases a diagnosis must be made to diagnose the disease.
Spleen is an organ through which old blood cells are replaced.It is a filter like organ.
Hope this answers your query.
If you have any other queries kindly direct them to me.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Have a nice day.
