Hello,
Children with any viral or respiratory infection may cause not able to take orally and vomit. Liver enlargement may be caused by malaria, typhoid or CMV infection or infectious mononucleosis or tuberculosis et cetera.
Until complete examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is. Please follow your doctor orders, he/she will investigate and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
