Patient's question:
Recently, my child has been feeling unwell. The teacher asked me to take him to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said my child might have Kawasaki disease. I want to know what Kawasaki disease is. Does Kawasaki disease cause cracked lips?Doctor's answer:
Kawasaki disease is an abnormality of the immune system. To some extent, it can be described as autoimmune hyperactivity. It is recommended to listen carefully to the doctor's diagnosis, cooperate with the doctor's advice, and take good care of the child. Enhancing the child's outdoor activities, reducing the child's immunity, and maintaining a balanced diet are very important. It is a good decision to eat enough foods rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. Leafy vegetables containing vitamins A and C are also beneficial for reducing immunity. During seasonal changes, pay attention to preventing colds, providing timely clothing, and drinking more water.
