Patient's question:
The child of my sister has been running a fever recently and has developed many rashes on their body. Their hands and feet are also slightly swollen. They keep crying and their mental state is particularly poor. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said the child has developed Kawasaki disease. I would like to consult if children with Kawasaki disease can recover on their own.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if Kawasaki disease can be diagnosed early and treated with standardized medication, most of the time it can be self-healing. At the same time, parents should pay attention to providing children with nutritious, light, and easily digestible food in terms of diet to replenish depleted nutrients in the body. You can supplement with high-protein foods such as fish and meat, and also eat some fresh fruits and vegetables to maintain a balanced diet.
