My little girl had Kawasaki disease 2 yrs ago, is it coming back or just the flu bug?

she has had a fever of 102-104 for the last 5 days, red eyes and blisters on her fingers. is it just the flu or should i be worried about her kowasokie disease she had 2 yrs ago. she has not had any heart problems since then.

Since it can reoccur, get her checked out. ALSO: 104 fever is dangerous, therefore, go to a doctor.
Note that blisters aren't usually caused by the flu.

Gekko!

I went to Childrens Memorial Hospital for this information.

It is highly unlikely that a child will develop Kawasaki disease again. Approximately one child in 100 develops Kawasaki disease a second time, usually several months to several years after the first episode. The symptoms are likely to be very similar to the first episode. I would take her to the doctor just to make sure that she is okay.
