Suggest Treatment For Hepatomegaly

Hi, My daughter is 2 years and 8 months old. Yesterday during her regular check up her doctor indicated that she has mild hepatomegaly and she should take Liv 52 for a month. I want to know how serious this condition is? and what could be the cause for this?

Hello, mild hepatomegaly is not a cause for concern. I would avise you to get a liver function ttest( blood teat)done to see if there inflammation in the liver. In case it is normal then I would suggest observation. I would advise to stop LIV 52 as there is no evidence that it is useful in liver disease.
Hope this helps
