Did you receive intravenous immunoglobulin for Kawasaki disease?

Patient's question:

My child suddenly developed a low fever last night. Neither physical cooling nor medication had a significant effect. The condition didn't improve today, so I rushed them to the hospital, where it was discovered they had Kawasaki disease. The doctor prescribed intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). What is the effect of receiving IVIG for Kawasaki disease?

Doctor's answer:

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is an antiviral treatment medication. After receiving immunoglobulin G, body temperature will rapidly decrease, effectively preventing work artery damage. Pay attention to cooperate with the doctor's treatment. If the treatment is not thorough, there is a risk of cardiovascular complications. During the treatment period, pay attention to the child's body temperature, prevent cold, drink more hot water, and pay attention to rest. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
