Patient's question:
Last week, I started suddenly feeling feverish. At the time, I thought it was just a cold, but after taking some cold medicine, it had no effect at all. I then underwent a thorough examination, and surprisingly, it turned out to be Kawasaki disease. Now the doctor has asked me to pay attention and take the child to the hospital for a follow-up check. Hello, what is the follow-up check time for Kawasaki disease?Doctor's answer:
Kawasaki disease is primarily determined by the condition of coronary artery damage to select the time and content of follow-up examinations. If coronary artery damage is not detected, the first follow-up examination should be conducted two weeks after the recurrence. The second follow-up examination time is chosen based on the results of the first follow-up examination, with the majority undergoing the second follow-up within 1 to 3 months. If there are no significant findings in the first follow-up, the second follow-up can be conducted once a year.
