The spleen is an infection fighting organ. An infection is probably causing your son's spleen to be swollen. There are physicians that specialize in Infectious Diseases. If your family physician tested for mono, and it was not that, you need a referral to a physician who specializes in infectious diseases. If that physician can not help you, you need a referral to a University Medical Center or a Major Clinic.
