Symptom #4: Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis occurs when the inner surface of the eyelids and the outermost layer of the whites of the eyes become inflamed, causing the eyes to appear red or pinkish. Some of the associated symptoms include pain, scratchiness, burning, itchiness, and swelling.
The commonest causes of conjunctivitis are viral and bacterial infections. In Kawasaki disease, there is often bilateral conjunctival inflammation, which is the most common symptom after fever.
