Hi.... BOwel gas Shadows And mild hepatomegaly does not mean serious illness. It can happen in viral illness also. If your son is complaining of intermittent pain abdomen the possibilities could be -
1. worm infestations
2. Mesenteric adenitis - lymph node enlargement in the abdomen
3. We need to consider non organic chronic pain abdomen, but,
4. Mild hepatomegaly also can cause pain abdomen like this because of stretching of capsule of the liver.
If the kid is otherwise active and appropriate in growth and development you need not worry about him.
