Patient's question:
The baby has recently been eating very little dinner for some unknown reason. He has drunk some water, but his lips are still red and cracked. I don't know what the cause is. A few days ago, I noticed some red spots on his palms and soles, and after some treatment, could it be Kawasaki disease? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Kawasaki disease is primarily diagnosed through clinical symptoms, such as recurring fever, bilateral conjunctival congestion, mucosal congestion in the mouth, throat, and pharynx, recurring rashes, and swollen lymph nodes. It is recommended that you take your baby to a formal pediatric hospital outpatient department for a systematic examination and diagnosis. Once a definitive diagnosis is confirmed, treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor, targeting the specific symptoms. During daily care, it is essential to be meticulous. When your baby is sick, avoid using medication blindly to prevent delaying the condition. Remember to drink plenty of water.
