Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I take medicine to control it regularly, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medicine. I'm asking, can Kawasaki disease be treated without aspirin?Doctor's answer:
Kawasaki disease requires the intake of aspirin, primarily to prevent the recurrence of thrombotic events. Because Kawasaki disease may lead to coronary artery dilation or the formation of coronary artery aneurysms, it can alter hemodynamic activity, making it easy to form thrombi, and even pose life-threatening risks. Regular follow-up examinations are also necessary to adjust medications promptly and prevent self-medication discontinuation or overuse.
