Patient's question:
My child has had Kawasaki disease for 6 months, and their platelet count is 613. The doctor has advised stopping medication (aspirin). The cardiac enzyme level is high at 32. I'm very worried. Could you please give me some advice? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
This illness generally causes fever, swollen lymph nodes, red tongue, and elevated platelet counts. Some typical patients may experience nail peeling. The most serious complication is the formation of an aneurysm in the cardiovascular system. However, since you are currently in the recovery phase, the risk is lower. It's important to actively cooperate with your doctor in treatment, as the majority of people can see positive results with proactive care. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
