Hello, The enlargement of the liver and spleen in association with fever and pain can be caused by a number of conditions including infection and blood disorders. Your child's blood can be tested for hepatitis, anemia, sickle cell disease and abnormalities of his liver function. These findings should be followed by your physician. If he develops worsening or localized pain, continued fevers, changes in his stool or urine color, jaundice or vomiting, please seek medical care immediately.
