Patient's question:
My daughter had a fever a few weeks ago and it lasted for a week. She then developed acute eczema again, which subsided after a day. We went to the hospital for a follow-up visit and were diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, with coronary artery dilation of 0.3. The doctor administered intravenous immunoglobulin and prescribed aspirin. After six days, the doctor discharged her from the hospital. At home, she continued taking aspirin, but the dosage was reduced to 4/1. A week later, we went to the hospital for a re-examination, but the coronary arteries still hadn't recovered. What should we do in this situation? Should we seek treatment at a major hospital, or should we follow the doctor's medication instructions?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, you have been diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. 1. It is recommended to go to a Class III hospital for specialized screening to confirm the diagnosis; 2. Carefully observe if the baby has any other symptoms; 3. Digestive and nutritional care. There are many treatment methods for the disease, but because the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods will also vary. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to go to a professional hospital as soon as possible for detailed testing to provide symptomatic treatment.
