Hi thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
as per your clinical history you seem to have "TROPICAL SPLENOMEGALY SYNDROME' which arises due to sequestration of malarial parasites from past infections. Other blood tests like complete blood counts,and ultrasound abdomen will be useful in guiding the therapy. The exact duration of therapy depends on the local or geographic data about the malarial parasite endemicity. Probably life long therapy is proved effective. Relapses are quite frequent with discontinuation of therapy. Drugs like chloroquine and proguanil are very useful in controlling the symptomatic splenomegaly. So continous medication is needed in your case with low fat diet. Consult an expert Gastroenterologist for further assistance.
Thank you,
Take care.
