Hello,

Fatty liver is caused by accumulation of fats in liver.
Triglyceride is a type of fat, its elevated level is causing fatty liver.
Diet control, exercise and probably lipid lowering drugs are required to reverse fatty liver.
Spleen can enlarge is various conditions.
Splenomegaly accompanied by sore throat, lesions in mouth and fever is indicative of infectious disease.
Infectious mononucleosis is one condition which is characterized by all these clinial features.

But all these symptoms were 1 month back ...usg has been done recently ... when should we do a repeat usg for her..
Brief Answer:
USG can be repeated to assess the size of spleen.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
The USG can be repeated now since it is important to review the liver and spleen.
The spleen should come back to its normal size.
Fatty liver is a reversible condition and it can be reverted once the causative factor is reversed.
