Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, with the history of Kawasaki disease you need to have echo-cardiogram and EKG as well as fresh cardiac enzymes before planning to have.
Such type if symptoms resolve at this moment. With the history and newer presentation cardiac ischemia needs to be ruled out. Pericarditis seems less likely. Urgent medical facility review is recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
