To be the best advocate for your child, you may want to make notes before the first appointment with your doctor.
- How severe is my child’s diagnosis?
 - How do we know that this is the correct diagnosis?
 - What can I do to help my child heal more quickly?
 - What medication should my child take and are there any side-effects?
 - Should I be concerned about complications or my child developing another infection?
