How should Kawasaki disease be treated urgently?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Please ask how to treat acute Kawasaki disease?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the main cause of Kawasaki disease has not yet been clearly identified. It primarily leads to coronary artery expansion or the formation of coronary aneurysms. The main clinical manifestations include recurrent fever, rash, desquamation of the extremities, and perianal desquamation. Treatment mainly involves the use of intravenous immunoglobulin, corticosteroids, and anticoagulant drugs. It is necessary to pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous exercise, and prevent the rupture of coronary aneurysms.
