Patient's question:
My child has had a fever for several days, and the medicine hasn't shown any effect. Worried, I took them to the hospital, where they were diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. However, after treatment, their mouth has remained red. The doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but how long does the redness in the mouth from Kawasaki disease last?Doctor's answer:
The course of Kawasaki disease may be longer, so the red mouth may persist for about 3-4 weeks, which also determines the complete recovery from the disease. During this period, the disease requires intermittent control. At the same time, the patient needs to be well-nourished, and may need cardiac interventional therapy if necessary. If the patient experiences recurrent platelet drops during the course of the disease, antiplatelet therapy needs to be implemented. Rest regularly.
