Is atypical Kawasaki disease serious?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I always feel uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medicine to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medicine. Please ask, is atypical Kawasaki disease serious?

Doctor's answer:

Atypical Kawasaki disease can be very serious if not treated promptly. This condition can easily damage the coronary arteries, leading to recurrent inflammation of the coronary arteries. In severe cases, it may even cause a myocardial infarction. It is recommended to take the child to a local regular hospital for systematic treatment as soon as the symptoms are noticed. Immunoglobulin can be used effectively to reduce the recurrence of coronary artery inflammation.
