Who is prone to Kawasaki disease

Patient's question:

Recently, for some reason, I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect isn't very noticeable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Who is more prone to getting Kawasaki disease?

Doctor's answer:

Kawasaki disease, also known as infantile skin and mucous membrane lymph node syndrome, primarily occurs in children under the age of five, more commonly in those with a hot and humid constitution. The main symptoms include fever and rash, with visible swollen lymph nodes in the neck or a "strawberry tongue." It is often associated with wind-fire and heat-toxin.
Pay attention to ensuring your child eats plenty of vegetables and fruits, drinks plenty of water, and minimizes snacks and sweet foods. Maintain regular bowel movements to prevent stomach issues, engage in adequate physical activity to strengthen their constitution.
