Can Kawasaki disease in children be cured?

Can Kawasaki disease in children be cured? The answer is yes. I believe many people don’t know much about this knowledge. We are not very familiar with Kawasaki disease, but in real life, the incidence of this disease is also very high, especially in April and May each year and from November to January of the following year. The incidence is the highest, so let us learn about how to eat and treat Kawasaki disease, hoping to be helpful to everyone.

Kawasaki disease treatment:

In most cases, this disease is a self-limiting disease. During the acute fever period, aspirin 80-150 mg/kg can be taken orally in 4 divided doses; the dose can be adjusted according to the blood drug concentration of 20-25 mg/dl. After the fever period, the dose can be reduced by 5-10 mg/kg, once a day; aspirin can slow the occurrence of coronary artery aneurysms and prevent thrombosis. During treatment, electrocardiograms and two-dimensional echocardiography tracking should be performed frequently, and coronary angiography can be performed if necessary. The course of aspirin treatment depends on the clinical course of the disease and is generally suitable for several months; if a coronary artery aneurysm occurs, treatment should continue until the coronary artery aneurysm subsides.

Patients at high risk of developing coronary artery aneurysms can be given 40 mg/kg of gamma globulin daily for 5 consecutive days while taking aspirin. Compared with aspirin alone, gamma globulin can significantly reduce coronary artery lesions.

The use of glucocorticoids is still controversial. Some people believe that it can promote the formation of aneurysms, but there are also reports that the use of impact doses of glucocorticoids in the early stages of the disease can prevent the occurrence of coronary artery aneurysms.

A small number of patients with large coronary artery aneurysms that cannot shrink require coronary artery bypass surgery.

Kawasaki disease diet:

Because there is a long period of repeated high fever and fever reduction in the early stage of the disease, the body loses a lot of vitamins and the negative nitrogen balance is more obvious.

1. Supplement high protein (if you have kidney damage, please consult your attending physician for specific details), such as poultry and fish.

2. Supplement with vitamin complex tablets, or you can balance your diet and eat more fruits and vegetables (those with weak spleen and stomach should eat in moderation).

3. Maintain a regular diet and daily routine, emphasize rest, and be sure to have regular checkups.

After reading the above introduction, we have a clear understanding of the relevant knowledge about Kawasaki disease. Another thing that needs to be noted is that everyone should not ignore the condition of children's fever. Many parents always think that fever is just a common cold, and then they give their children cold medicine casually. This is the easiest way to delay the treatment of Kawasaki disease and cause great harm to the child's health.
