Long-Term Symptoms in Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and Cervical Adenitis Syndrome after Tonsillectomy
While PFAPA symptoms resolve or are milder post-tonsillectomy among most of the patients, the long-term outcomes showing residual symptoms among a substantial minority should be considered when evaluating tonsillectomy as a treatment option for PFAPA. Increased awareness of persistent symptoms after tonsillectomy may improve understanding and health care for these patients.
