I have sinus infection and I cant taste anything and it's hard to swallow and I also have really bad headaches

Off-topic and serious question, you mentioned palpating the abdomen in order to feel for the enlarged spleen or liver. Can doctors still feel the enlarged spleen or liver if the patient has a lot of belly fat/is obese?
