Should be safe: Most symptoms, including the splenomegaly, resolve by 2 weeks, which is generally considered the 'safe to resume normal activities" time frame. The fatigue, as you've noticed, tends to persist; it can last for a few months, without any other symptoms.

May be fine now: You can always have her pcp evaluate her for an enlarged spleen ( physical exam ) and at this point if it never enlarged or is returning to normal size there would be minimal risk. Be aware that playing through fatigue places her at some increased risk of injury do to decline in vigilance.Some caution is reasonable until she is feeling up to her normal level.
