How Should Kawasaki Disease Be Treated?

A 6-year-old boy experienced an unusual itching in his elbow and knee joints a year ago, with no external symptoms. The doctor believed it was growing pains. In November this year, he had a continuous fever for four times, with an ESR of 105 and no dilatation of the coronary artery, and was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. After taking medication, the fever subsided, but whether to continue taking medication? Symptoms of Kawasaki disease also include high fever and skin desquamation. Most children with Kawasaki disease recover without serious complications. If diagnosed as Kawasaki disease within 10 days of onset, the use of serum immunoglobulin and high-dose aspirin is effective. However, if it exceeds 10 days, the effect is usually poor, even ineffective. It is best to take medication under a doctor’s guidance.
