How Long Does It Take To Treat Spleen Enlargement?

Respected doctor. Two months back i was detected widal positive. I was admitted and treated with antibiotic injection for eight days followed by a oral course of seven days. After one month i was feeling tired and a pain in left side rib portion. I consulted a doctor and gone for USG and found a enlarged spleen as well as lever. Doctor insist me to take rest and this is due to your previous Typhoid. Still I am suffering from pain in my left back rib side. I want to know that how much time is required to cure spleen enlargement and also want know whether required a treatment.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Enlargement resolves on successful treatment of causative disorder. You have been successfully treated for typhoid, so there is no need to worry. Regression of enlargement spleen occurs slowly after clearance of infection. Sometimes it takes long time for complete resolution of enlarged.
Advice
1.     Ibuprofen 600 mg per oral after meal if pain in intolerable. Otherwise avoid it
2.     Take bed rest for few weeks
3.     Avoid strenuous physical activity as strenuous work can cause rupture of enlarged spleen which is a life-threatening condition
4.     Have patience and eat high protein diet such as egg yolk, fruits, meat and cheese
