Hi...by what you quote it seems to be a pharyngitis either viral or bacterial. I suggest you take a streptococcal rapid antigen test and if it is negative you can be rest assured. I don't think the past Kawasaki disease is related to this. If the kid is active and otherwise normal, temperature of 96F is not to be worried about.
