Health anxiety

I’m 16 and noticed bumps in the back of my tounge and I looked it up and got Kawasaki disease in children so now I’m really scared thinking I have that and COVID im so scared I wanna cry

Hi sweetie

Please don't fret, I'm a health anxiety sufferer too and one thing I've learnt is never Google your symptoms but we can't help it can we its automatic response but chances are it certainly not kawasaki disease we all have lots of tiny spots on the back of our tongues think they ate our taste buds so spots on ya tongue or at the side of it is pretty normal try not to worry but with all the health issues in the media at the minute were bound to get scared and worried.

You never do I don’t till I notice it then I concentrate on that one area it’s awful isn’t it
