Patient's question:
Recently, for some reason, I've been feeling discomfort 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 about the clinical manifestations of Kawasaki disease in children.Doctor's answer:
Kawasaki disease in children is a disease caused by a viral infection. It primarily affects the skin, mucous membranes, and cardiovascular system, leading to fever, skin rash, or swollen lymph nodes, cardiovascular diseases, and increased platelet count. It often occurs after an upper respiratory tract infection. Standard treatment for Kawasaki disease can alleviate symptoms, but it is necessary to regularly check the child's blood count to monitor the platelet level.
