Patient's question:
The child has been diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. They started intravenous fluids and medication yesterday, but the child's head is still very hot, with red, swollen, and dry lips, and the condition has not improved. I don't know if it's the wrong medication or if the recovery period is very long. Please tell me, how long is the recovery period for Kawasaki disease?Doctor's answer:
Kawasaki disease generally involves ulcers and sores around the mouth, as well as symptoms of oral pain or joint issues. The recovery period can vary depending on the treatment effect, and protein-rich foods are often recommended. Additionally, corticosteroids are used to control the disease and mitigate the risks associated with rheumatic immune system disorders. The main concern is its complications, such as heart problems or damage to other organs.
