Asiatic children are most frequently affected with Kawasaki disease (KD). In the body, it causes inflammation, usually in the lymph nodes and blood arteries. Typically, children under the age of five are affected. The red flags are when the fever lasts more than five days and the youngster starts to exhibit symptoms including a strawberry-colored tongue, swollen hands and feet, joint pain, abdominal pain, and skin peeling.

Although Kawasaki illness is typically curable, it is one of the leading causes of childhood heart disease. This is why Manipal Hospitals has a special Kawasaki Disease Clinic to treat the illness early on before it worsens. So reach out to the Top paediatric hospital in India.

Our paediatricians may administer a number of tests to your child to help them make a diagnosis and either rule out or confirm Kawasaki Disease from the best Child clinic in India. These tests may include an echocardiogram (ECG) to look for irregular heartbeats, blood tests to check for inflammation and heart failure, a chest X-ray to check for signs of heart failure. Aspirin and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy are initial therapies.
