What symptoms occur in Kawasaki disease?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please tell me what symptoms are common in Kawasaki disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this case, there is usually fever, conjunctival and pharyngeal mucosal congestion, lymphadenopathy, and redness, swelling, dryness, and cracking of the lips and face, even bleeding; the tongue often appears as a "strawberry tongue," with oral mucosal congestion but no ulcers. The palms and soles are red and painful, and various-sized maculopapules appear on the trunk, with no specific morphology. They are also present on the face and limbs. The diet must be high in calories and protein, easily digestible, and rich in vitamin C. Active treatment should be carried out.
