A member asked:
Are there any long-term effects when using aspirin to treat kawasaki disease in kids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, possibly: High doses of aspirin are recommended as part of the standard of care for patients with Kawasaki disease in order to help prevent coronary artery aneurysms, which is the most serious long term threat to health from Kawasaki disease. If a patient develops ringing in their ears while on high dose aspirin, then they should call their doctor immediately since this can lead to hearing loss.
