Kawasaki disease still has a fever after receiving intravenous immunoglobulin

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I take medication regularly to control it, the effect isn't obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking, after receiving the gamma globulin treatment for Kawasaki disease, is it still possible to have a fever?

Doctor's answer:

The baby with Kawasaki disease has stopped having a fever after receiving intravenous immunoglobulin. Currently, the fever has reappeared, and it needs to be considered how the possibility of re-infection might have occurred again. It can be temporarily observed for any recurrence of other uncomfortable symptoms. Drink more water, use physical methods to reduce fever, get more rest, eat a light and hygienic diet, avoid eating greasy and poorly absorbable foods, and try to avoid going to crowded places.
