A member asked:

Clot traveled to spleen and its oversized and have viral infection symptoms. sore spleen and chest, kidney.how long do i have to live?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Splenic infarct: If appropriately managed this will probably not influence your life expectancy. You may have infective endocarditis with emboli to the spleen or there are other areas from which this may occur, most of them amenable to treatment. Relax and follow your doctor's guidance. Good luck
