Recovery from the inflammatory response in Kawasaki disease can take up to 1 year, and in some children with severe coronary artery disease, recovery may take 2-3 years or more.
The most prominent symptom of Kawasaki disease is persistent fever. Kawasaki disease may take a year and more to recover due to the young age of the patient, poor self-healing properties of the body, and the long time needed to recover after severe inflammation. Some children with severe coronary artery disease may take 2-3 years or more to recover.
Recovery time for clinical symptoms takes 2-4 weeks, and recovery time for changes in inflammatory markers is 6-8 weeks, depending on the severity of Kawasaki disease, and the recovery time for children varies from person to person.
The goals of treatment for Kawasaki disease are to control systemic vascular inflammation, reduce coronary artery damage, and prevent coronary artery aneurysm formation as well as thrombotic obstruction. Treatment should begin as soon as possible for those who meet the diagnostic criteria.
During the treatment of Kawasaki disease, parents should take oral aspirin and dipyridamole as prescribed by the doctor, and stop the medication according to the follow-up indicators such as platelets and regular follow-up cardiac ultrasound, and should not stop the medication arbitrarily or refuse to return for follow-up. The cause of the disease is unknown and there is no effective means of prevention.
If diagnosed, please take active treatment under the guidance of your doctor.
