Patient's question:
My child has a cold and also suffers from Kawasaki disease. After eating longan, they started wheezing and coughing. It seems a bit uncomfortable after eating. I want to understand a few things. Can people with Kawasaki disease eat longan?Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, it is not advisable to eat too much longan. Even if it doesn't come out, it is generally not necessary to handle it. Eating more rough fiber foods can help with bowel movements. If symptoms of intestinal obstruction occur, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at a hospital. The pits of longan will gradually be digested in the gastrointestinal tract or excreted with the baby's stool. Recurrence is seen in 1-2% of children without coronary artery lesions. These children undergo comprehensive check-ups (including physical examination, ECG, and echocardiography, etc.) at 1, 3, 6 months, and 1-2 years after discharge.
