Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions related to Kawasaki disease:

1. What tests will you use to confirm whether my child has Kawasaki disease?
   
   
2. Do you know how my child developed the disease?
   
   
3. Could my child have Kawasaki disease if they don't have any of the symptoms?
   
   
4. Has my child suffered any heart damage as a result of the disease?
   
   
5. What sorts of treatment would you suggest for my child?
   
   
6. How effective do you think treatment will be for my child?
   
   
7. How long do you expect my child will need to recover from treatment?
   
   
8. Should my child avoid/discontinue any medications if they have Kawasaki disease?
   
   
9. Are there any lifestyle changes my child will need to make?
   
   
10. Will my child need to regularly visit a doctor as a result of this illness? For how long?
