How to treat Kawasaki disease with diet

How should Kawasaki disease be treated with diet? Many people don’t know much about this issue. In fact, it is very necessary to treat Kawasaki disease through diet. When a baby has Kawasaki disease, the diet should be light, easy to digest, and high in protein. Then, the baby can be supplemented with vitamin complex tablets to balance the diet and not eat spicy food. The following is our detailed introduction.

Eggs: Eggs have a great effect on the nervous system and physical development. The choline contained in them can improve memory in all age groups. The protein in eggs can repair liver tissue damage, and the lecithin in the yolk can promote the regeneration of liver cells. It can also increase the amount of plasma protein in the human body and enhance the body's metabolic and immune functions.

Light and easily digestible food: Children with Kawasaki disease have long-term repeated high fever and fever reduction in the early stage of the disease, serious loss of vitamins in the body, and obvious negative nitrogen balance. Therefore, the diet should be nutritious, light and easily digestible food.

Supplement high protein: If your baby has Kawasaki disease, you should supplement high protein appropriately (if you have kidney damage, please consult a doctor for details), such as poultry and fish. You can also take vitamin complex tablets and a balanced diet.

Fruits and vegetables: Children with Kawasaki disease can eat more fruits and vegetables (if they have weak spleen and stomach, please eat in moderation). During the acute attack period, eat a small amount of liquid food frequently, and if necessary, supplement with sufficient nutrients to improve the body's disease resistance and restore health as soon as possible. Eat and rest regularly, emphasize rest, and be sure to have regular checkups.

How should parents care for babies with Kawasaki disease? The first and most important thing is to let the baby lie there comfortably. In addition, if the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, give him antipyretics. Pay attention to changes in body temperature and accompanying symptoms, and deal with them in time. Pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise.

Pay attention to your baby's hygiene every day, clean the buttocks after each defecation, cut nails short, keep hands clean to avoid scratching the skin, and never tear the skin at peeling areas to avoid skin infection; clothes and quilts should be soft and clean, and avoid wearing clothes made of non-breathable chemical fiber fabrics.

Wipe eyes with cotton balls soaked in 1-4 percent boric acid water every day, apply antibiotic eye ointment when necessary, keep the mouth clean, encourage children to rinse their mouths frequently, and apply lip oil or chloramphenicol cod liver oil when lips are dry.

In addition, for babies with Kawasaki disease, the most important thing for mothers is to observe the baby carefully to see if there is any swelling of the baby's lymph nodes, or to observe the baby's hands and feet. Do not tear off the things you take off by hand, let them fall off by themselves, otherwise the skin will be cracked and damaged.

If you develop a viral infection such as chickenpox while taking aspirin, stop taking it and go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

After discharge, regular checkups are required. Children with coronary artery changes are generally required to have a cardiac ultrasound and electrocardiogram every 1-3 months. After the coronary artery returns to normal, the checkup should be conducted every 6 months. After three consecutive normal results, the checkup should be changed to 3-5 years later.
