Patient's question:
My 3-year-old niece was taken to the hospital once when she was sick, and then she was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. After staying in the hospital for a while, it is said that her condition has improved and she is about to be discharged. Now, I am just worried about the later stages. What are the things to pay attention to in the later stages of Kawasaki disease?Doctor's answer:
In the later stage of Kawasaki disease, it is essential to have regular follow-up examinations of color Doppler echocardiography and electrocardiogram. Early follow-up requires more frequent checks. After three consecutive tests, it is generally recommended to have follow-up examinations once a year. Kawasaki disease is an infectious disease caused by Streptococcus, so it is important to pay attention to diet, enhance physical fitness, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and get more sun exposure.
