My son has had this recently this liver has enlarged so the dr has done an ultrasound as it felt realy big on his stomach exam but it has gone extremely big the dr said that how englarded it is does not correspond with glandular fever so they have ordered more blood tests to check for every possible thing that can cause your liver to enlarge which can take a couple of weeks to come back so basically sit and wait

I hope your son is doing well now, sounds like a very rough time

Hi I don't know if I actually had Glandular fever but I had 2 separate episodes when I was 17 where I was laid out on sofa for 2 weeks with no energy and Fatigue. I lost over a stone in weight but that was 20yrs ago. I still struggle with some form of fatigue could there be a connection!
