Hepatosplenomegaly

The story “Hepatosplenomegaly” follows Jaime, a child who visits the pediatrician after several days of fever and sore throat. During the examination, the doctor discovers that Jaime’s liver and spleen are enlarged — a condition called hepatosplenomegaly. The text then explains, in simple and educational language for children, what this condition means, why it occurs (often due to infections), how it is diagnosed, and how it can be treated, emphasizing the role of the liver and spleen as filters and storage organs in the body.
