How to prevent Kawasaki disease in children

Every parent should help their children develop good living habits to help them stay away from the threats of various diseases. Kawasaki disease is such a disease. Therefore, patients must receive timely treatment to get better as soon as possible. So how can children prevent Kawasaki disease? Let me introduce it to you below.

In fact, even if the diagnosis is incorrect, it will not affect the treatment, because any doctor is used to using antibiotics and antipyretics to deal with persistent high fever. But antibiotics alone are ineffective. Just like fever caused by other diseases, give your baby plenty of water, preferably juice.

There is no specific rule as to how well a baby needs to be before he or she can go to a nursery or kindergarten. As long as the baby does not feel particularly unwell, he or she can resume normal life. Generally speaking, Kawasaki disease will not recur in the future, but since the sequelae of heart disease will not appear until many years later, it is necessary to have regular heart examinations.

The vast majority of children have a good prognosis, with a self-limited course, and can gradually recover with appropriate treatment. This is very different from infantile nodular periarteritis. However, 15% to 30% of Kawasaki disease patients may develop coronary artery aneurysms. Deaths due to coronary artery aneurysms, thrombotic occlusions or myocarditis account for 1% to 2% of all cases, and sudden death may occur even during the recovery period. Sequelae of ischemic heart disease are very rare. Recurrence occurs in about 2%. The mortality rate has dropped to 0.5% to 1.0% in recent years. An analysis of the causes of death of 104 cases of Kawasaki disease in Japan showed that 57% were due to myocardial infarction, 12% to heart failure, 6.7% to myocardial infarction with heart failure, 5% to ruptured coronary artery aneurysms, 1% to arrhythmias, and other complications such as infections.

The above content is about the prevention of Kawasaki disease. As parents, we must take the above content seriously, understand it carefully, and do some work to prevent the disease. This can reduce the incidence rate, keep our children away from the harm of Kawasaki disease, and ensure their health.
