One of the main pathological changes in Kawasaki disease is systemic vasculitis. Clinically, common symptoms include fever, high fever, recurrent fever, conjunctival congestion, significant oral mucosal congestion, strawberry tongue, enlargement of neck lymph nodes, and peeling of the hands and feet. In cases of Kawasaki disease, oral mucosal congestion is a common complication, hence during the period of Kawasaki disease, it is advised not to consume irritating, spicy, or hot foods. These might exacerbate the child's discomfort, affect their nutrient absorption, and potentially worsen the condition. Therefore, during the illness, it is preferable to focus on bland, easy-to-digest foods.
