What should I do if I get a fever again during the recovery period of Kawasaki disease?

Patient's question:

A child recently suffered from Kawasaki disease and is currently in the recovery phase, but they have a fever. Hello, Doctor. What should I do if they have a fever during the recovery phase of Kawasaki disease?

Doctor's answer:

The child currently has a fever and should be taken to the hospital for a re-examination of blood tests to determine if it is a bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infection. Then, promptly use the preferred fever-reducing medication for the child. Treating the symptoms appropriately can prevent the condition from worsening. In the coming days, ensure the child drinks water moderately, avoids getting cold, and drinks more water, which will help the child recover more completely.
