Recovery period of Kawasaki disease with a fever of 38 degrees

Patient's question:

My baby was sick before, very serious. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination and found out it was Kawasaki disease. Now the child is in a recovery period, but last night the baby had a fever again, and it was 38 degrees. Hello doctor, what should I do if the baby has a fever of 38 degrees during the recovery period from Kawasaki disease?

Doctor's answer:

As soon as possible, take the child to the hospital for a thorough blood test to determine whether it is a viral or bacterial infection. Then, based on the test results, start medication early to prevent delays in treatment. During the treatment period, closely monitor the child's condition and seek medical attention promptly if any abnormalities occur. After discharge, it is recommended to have follow-up tests at the hospital periodically. In daily life, ensure the child drinks plenty of water and appropriately supplement with vitamins.
