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 ask how long it takes for Kawasaki disease to develop dilation.Doctor's answer:
This disease is rare and also complex, known as a mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome. It can affect small and medium-sized blood vessels and cause vasculitis. In the initial stages, it generally does not present with coronary artery expansion. If it is not severe, it can also recover on its own. However, it is recommended to have a follow-up echocardiogram every three months. If any discomfort occurs during this period, it is important to visit the hospital for follow-up treatment.
