Kawasaki Disease
My son was suffering from fever for the last twenty days and after multiple diagnosis tests, the doctor recommended 2d echo. Today the cardiologist concluded that he is suffering from Kawasaki Disease and needs to be on igim. We started with ivig but as a parent, I am concerned about the side effects of ivig and the severity impact of Kawasaki Disease. His only symptom is fever. Also, I would like to know if we are delayed in starting the treatment as we started the treatment after 20 days of fever. Also, how soon he can resume normal activities. Does he have to be on bedrest and is the disease 100 percent curable. Attached are the reports
