Should I Avoid Carrying My Child To Prevent Rupture When I Have An Enlarged Spleen From Mono?

I am a 5,4, 147lb 22 year old woman diagnosed with mono. I’m on week three of the illness and most other symptoms have subsided but I still feel uncomfortable fullness/ache pains underneath my left side rib cage. Checkup said my spleen was enlarged. I’m super nervous of doing anything to have it rupture since I live alone. What are my limitations to movement and what am I able to lift? I have a 3 year old rowdy toddler. Thanks
