Kawasaki disease is an inflammatory condition that mainly affects children under five and can involve the heart’s blood vessels. Signs include fever lasting more than five days, red eyes, a rash, red cracked lips or a “strawberry” tongue, swollen hands or feet, and swollen neck glands. If you notice this combination, see a doctor promptly — early treatment greatly protects the heart.
