Kawasaki disease treatment

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the standard treatment for Kawasaki disease while the perfect cause of Kawasaki disease is unknown, certain medicines are known to help. Aspirin is often used to reduce fever, rash, joint pain and inflammation and help prevent blood clots from forming. Another medicine, intravenous gamma globulin may reduce the risk of developing coronary artery abnormalities in early disease.
