Can a child with Mycoplasma pneumoniae spread to an adult?

Children who get Mycoplasma pneumoniae can spread it to adults because Mycoplasma pneumoniae is contagious.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a microorganism that is between bacteria and viruses in size, and can be transmitted through respiratory droplets, direct contact, indirect contact, etc. If an adult has low immunity and comes into contact with the sputum or body fluids of an infected person, it may be infected. If the adult has strong immunity and takes protective measures when coming into contact with the patient, and does not have direct contact with the patient's sputum or body fluids, it will generally not be infectious. If you have Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, you can take antibiotics under the guidance of your doctor, such as azithromycin capsules, doxycycline hydrochloride capsules, etc. If you have fever symptoms and your body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, you can be treated with oral antipyretics as prescribed, such as ibuprofen suspension, acetaminophen tablets, etc.

In daily life, pay attention to your health and do not smoke. Pay attention to rest, get enough sleep, and don't stay up late. Pay attention to eating a healthy diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods, such as chili peppers, garlic, etc. If you have symptoms such as fever and cough, you can go to a regular hospital for treatment.
