Patient's question:
My child is 2 years old this year and often has a fever. In the past month, he has had many fever episodes. I suspect that my child's frequent fever might be a case of Kawasaki disease in children. Isn't Kawasaki disease just about having a fever? Could my child have been infected by someone else?Doctor's answer:
The baby often has recurrent fever, which is generally considered to be due to incorrect medication or a weakened immune function. If the baby also has a rash and swollen lymph nodes, then it may be necessary to consider Kawasaki disease. It is essential to give the baby plenty of fluids and use medications properly during colds, avoiding the indiscriminate use of antibiotics. Medications should be used in sufficient dosage and duration. It is recommended to have a blood test to guide symptomatic treatment. Provide the baby with adequate nutrition, avoid spicy and irritating foods, get more sunlight exposure, and consider oral immune-boosting medications. Adjust the baby's clothing according to the weather changes, and with proper care, the condition will gradually improve.
