Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Is it splenomegaly? Only depending upon two symptoms it is difficult to relate. It may be possible with cytomegalovirus infection or infectious mononucleosis or EBV infection etc. But both may be different entities. Please consult your physician he will examine and check for other possible causes then treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
