Patient's question:
The child is two years old this year, but a careful examination revealed Kawasaki disease, and it is coronary artery dilation. It is said that although this disease is not very serious, the time to fully recover is generally quite long. How long does it usually take to fully recover?Doctor's answer:
The dilation of coronary arteries is caused by Kawasaki disease. Generally, there is a recovery process of about half a year. However, for such dilation, I believe that even if the dilation is mild, the possibility of recovery is not high. Only with regular follow-up and no worsening of the condition can it be considered. This deformity has already occurred, and the damage has been done, making recovery possible. If no cardiovascular complications are caused, Kawasaki disease rarely leaves sequelae.
