Patient's question:
What should I do if my son, who has had Kawasaki disease, catches a cold again? I'm also afraid to give him random cold medicine because I'm worried about side effects.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your baby previously had Kawasaki disease and now has a cold. Based on the symptoms of your baby's cold, such as the presence and severity of cough and phlegm, you can choose to carefully observe or take oral medication for symptomatic treatment to avoid the cold worsening. Therefore, it is recommended to revisit the local clinic. If your baby previously had Kawasaki disease and the cold occurred not long after, it is advisable to have a check-up at a regular hospital in the local area.
