Kawasaki disease should be prevented and treated comprehensively

Kawasaki disease should be comprehensively prevented and treated. Speaking of Kawasaki disease, everyone should be unfamiliar with it. In fact, another name for Kawasaki disease is mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, which is an acute febrile rash disease in children with systemic vasculitis as the main pathological feature. The age of patients is generally between 5 and 13 years old. In order to let everyone better understand the prevention and treatment methods of Kawasaki disease, we will explain it in detail below!

1. General treatment. Parents should pay attention to the child's oral care, keep the skin clean, ensure the child's rest and nutrition, eat a reasonable diet, and cool down in time when the fever is high.

2. Once Kawasaki disease is diagnosed, the patient should be hospitalized for treatment.

1. Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. Early application is recommended.

2. Anticoagulant therapy

(1) The course of aspirin treatment is 2 to 3 months. For patients with coronary artery dilation, it should be used until the coronary artery returns to normal.

(2) Dipyridamole is used for children with Kawasaki disease combined with coronary artery dilatation or thrombocytosis.

(3) For children with coronary artery aneurysms, warfarin anticoagulation therapy is recommended to prevent intracoronary thrombosis.

3. Myocardial nutrition therapy: For patients with abnormal electrocardiogram or heart involvement, add fructose 1,6-bisphosphate or sodium creatine phosphate.

4. Glucocorticoids are used for Kawasaki disease that is unresponsive to aspirin + immunoglobulin.

Parents should take their children to the hospital for regular checkups to understand the condition of their coronary arteries. In more serious cases, coronary artery aneurysms usually disappear within 2 years after the onset of the disease, but often leave functional abnormalities such as thickening of the vessel wall and weakened elasticity.

Theoretically, taking enteric-coated aspirin tablets and double-mectite diaphragm tablets definitely has side effects, but it depends on the specific individual situation. Some people have less obvious side effects, while others have obvious side effects. However, compared with coronary artery aneurysms, their side effects can be ignored. Just pay attention to the side effects and deal with them in time. Because coronary artery aneurysms are a lifelong problem. In some cases where the coronary heart is overloaded, it may rupture at any time, which is a life-threatening problem. So you can weigh the pros and cons.

Improving immunity is a commonplace: daily life, diet, and moderate aerobic exercise.

Finally, children without coronary artery disease underwent a comprehensive examination (including physical examination, electrocardiogram, and echocardiogram) 1, 3, 6 months, and 1 to 2 years after discharge.
