Hi,
Yes dear, as liver enlargment could be caused by increased intravascular red cells death or obstruction of liver vessels or even infection might be causing enlargement.
More it can be evaluated if seen in person by a treating physician.
I would highly recommend you to alert your son's treating doctor about his symptoms and signs promptly.So it can be treated on time.
Wish you best of luck.
