This syndrome includes recurrent episodes of fever with aphthous stomatitis (mouth sores) and pharyngitis (sore throat with redness).
Occasionally, there also may be exudate (white patches on the tonsils) and usually the lymph nodes in the neck are enlarged (adenitis).
Episodes of fever start suddenly and last for 3-7 days. Fevers occur routinely every few weeks; often, families know the exact day when an episode will start.
Some children have other symptoms like joint pain, abdominal pain, rash, headache, vomiting or diarrhea.
Children are completely well between episodes.
