How long should Kawasaki disease be reviewed?

Patient's question:

Recently, for some reason, I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I take medication regularly to control it, the effect isn't very noticeable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. How long does it take to follow up on Kawasaki disease?

Doctor's answer:

Children with Kawasaki disease who have complications such as coronary aneurysms, myocardial infarction, or ischemic heart disease need to have follow-up examinations for two years. Regular heart condition checks or careful examinations of coronary artery stenosis, angina, etc., are required. However, the majority of children with Kawasaki disease recover completely within 1-2 months, with clinical symptoms subsiding and gradually returning to normal. Specific follow-up items and timing are recommended to be chosen based on the advice of the attending physician.
