Hello

Hepatomegaly(enlarged liver) may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,metabolic disorder,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,lipid profile,urine RE/ME.
Treatment depend upon findings.You may need to take few medicines.

Spleen is generally enlarged(splenomegaly)due to infection like chronic malaria,typhoid,metabolic disorder etc.This condition generally doesn't require any treatment unless it is hugely enlarged and it is causing pain and complications.

Get well soon.
Take Care
