A member asked:
Is it normal to feel the tip of the spleen in a thin, otherwise healthy 4 yo? he got over pneumonia about 3 weeks ago. otherwise no other issues.

Not particularly: At that age I occasionally find this on a normal physical exam.It is easier if they are on the thin side, which is where a 4 yo should be.When they are chunky it is hard to feel any normal anatomy.
