Patient's question:
My daughter contracted hand, foot, and mouth virus and developed Kawasaki disease. A few days ago, her body was constantly feverish, and she had rashes. After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, her condition improved significantly. However, recently, her eyes have been red since she started suffering from this disease, and the redness hasn't subsided yet. I want to ask the doctor how long it will take for my daughter's eyes to return to normal after developing Kawasaki disease?Doctor's answer:
The cause of Kawasaki disease is unclear, and it is more common in infants and young children under the age of 5. The main symptoms include conjunctival congestion, with no discharge from the eyes in general. High fever and swollen lymph nodes in the body. It is recommended to eat high-protein, nutrient-rich, and vitamin-rich foods, get adequate rest, and drink plenty of plain water. Under the guidance of a doctor, hormone drugs and anesthetic gamma globulin are used for treatment. The symptoms typically last for about 4 to 6 weeks.
