Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I take medication to control it regularly, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please tell me what the treatment plan is for Kawasaki disease?Doctor's answer:
The causes of Kawasaki disease include viral infection and bacterial infection. After these pathogens infect the human body, they can cause widespread vasculitis, which may lead to recurrent cardiovascular diseases in children, most commonly coronary artery aneurysms. This disease is self-limiting, and with active treatment, the condition of the vast majority of affected children can be alleviated. During treatment, it is important to pay attention to rest, and immune enhancers can be used during the acute phase.
