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 advise on the precautions for the later stage of Kawasaki disease.Doctor's answer:
Early detection of Kawasaki disease, when treated properly, usually heals quickly without leaving any long-term sequelae. However, during later life, it is still important to undergo regular follow-up checks to monitor blood test data such as complete blood count and platelet levels. Additionally, the heart function should also be carefully monitored periodically to prevent rare sequelae from reappearing. Furthermore, children should be advised to avoid emotional excitement and strenuous exercise, as these may otherwise cause damage to the cardiovascular system.
