Are there any precautions I need to take after my child has recovered from Kawasaki Disease?
I’m glad to hear that your child has recovered well. Short answer: The good news is that most children treated for Kawasaki disease recover fully with no long term complications, and will not need further treatment. The earlier he was treated, the better. Recurrence of Kawasaki disease is uncommon. He should, however, continue to follow a healthy diet, and adopt healthy lifestyle habits to reduce the risk of future heart disease (this applies to all children, not just those who have Kawasaki disease).
What could be the cause of an electric like current radiating from my chest?
You should go to see your GP. The first thing that he will want to do is rule out possible cardiac causes (heart problems) eg. do you smoke, are you overweight, do you have high cholesterol, do you have a family history of cardiac disease, do you experience any chest pain on exertion etc. He may also perform an ECG just to check that your heart rhythm is normal. In the absence of a cardiac cause, these sensations you’ve described are very likely to be non-worrying – ie. electric current-like sensations are often described in patients with nerve problems, or musculoskeletal pain.
