PFAPA syndrome is a relatively common periodic fever in children.It typically starts in early childhood (between ages 2 and 5 yr).Febrile(i.e fever) episodes last 3 to 6 days and recur about every 28 days. The syndrome causes fatigue, chills, and occasionally abdominal pain and headache, as well as fever, pharyngitis(swollen inflamed pharynx), aphthous ulcers(ulcers in mouth), and lymphadenopathy(swollen lymph nodes). Patients are healthy between episodes, and growth is normal.
Patients tend to outgrow this syndrome without sequelae i.e with age, her symptoms would subside.. The doctor would probably prescribe glucocorticoids and cimetidine.. a tonsillectomy may or may not be needed..
hope it helps...
