Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
It depened on the right cause of hepatosplenomegaly. it can be certain liver or splenic disease but also certain hematologic diseases so the right cause should be established. also in such young patient any systemic infection can lead to hepatomegaly. as well as some congenital liver enzyme lafunctions such as gilbers. It can also be just temporary jaimdice and usually it disolves spontaneously.
WIsh you good health. Regards
