Has anyone ahd a child out grow ?

[Guest guest]

I have read a lot about children with and treatment with surgery

and steroids I am wondering has anyone really just out grown this

syndrome I keep waiting for the day my son won't get the fevers

anymore and I am begining to think it is not going to happen He now

has had a fever for 8 days and the doctor has him on antibiotics for a

throat infection He has never had inflamed tonsils in the past but is

it typical for new symptoms to appear after over 3 years of just

fevers? He is also complaining of stomach pain that he sometimes gets

with a fever episode but not all the time? I am worried because he

already suffers a lot with just the fevers. I would appreciate any

imput

Thank you

It is comforting to read posts from people whose children have outgrown PFAFP

and/or seem to be on their way to outgrowing this. I hope that more people will

send positive e-mails about this!

My daughter started her fevers at 6 months old and had them high and

timely since. She is now 6 years old and seems to have nearly

stopped. In the year 2007 she only had 2 episodes and has not had

one since early fall. We decided to medicate her only with OTC

products and did not opt for the TA. Our Dr suggested we wait until

she was 5 and see if any changes occured from there. It has been a

very long hard road as all of you with this know. I have heard many

who are much older than 5/6 that still have thier episodes. Today she

has started with the mouth sores and all the tell-tell signs pre-

fever. But I feel overall she is growing out of them. I think when

she does get them, they are not near as bad as when she was younger.

I think the mouth sores are related somehow. Have read on here where

those who are adults who had the fevers no longer have the fevers,

but still get the sores. I think(just in my unprofessional opinion)

that by reading the experiences from teens and adults who still have

this that whatever is causing this still exist in thier body. They

just they may outgrow some of the symptoms, but still have some of

them and have the potential to come back throughout thier life and

some don't show symptoms at all anymore.
