A member asked:

I have a burning feeling on the left side, were my enlarged spleen is. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More history: Enlarged spleen is usually asymptomatic, so burning pain may be caused by something else. If you have had it for a while and it's not changed, then you should see your doc in routine fashion. If that's some new and is getting worse and is associated with other symptoms, you should seek emergency care.
