Can cefixime treat mycoplasma infection?

Cefixime can generally treat mycoplasma infection, but cefixime has a small effect on mycoplasma infection. If the patient develops mycoplasma infection, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time and treat it with medication under the guidance of a doctor.

Cefixime belongs to the third generation of cephalosporin antibiotics, which has strong antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria such as streptococcus, pneumococcus, gonorrhoea, and Escherichia coli, as well as some gram-negative bacteria, such as Salmonella, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, etc.Cefixime can treat mycoplasma infections. Mycoplasma is a special pathogen, a pathogenic microorganism that is somewhere between bacteria and viruses.

After mycoplasma infects the respiratory tract, it often causes pharyngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, etc., and patients may have clinical symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough, and sputum production. Mycoplasma infections are treated with macrolide antibiotics such as azithromycin or roxithromycin, or doxycycline if you are allergic to these drugs. If the patient has symptoms of cough and sputum production, drugs such as dextromethorphan and ambroxol hydrochloride can also be used for relief.

Patients with mycoplasma infection should note that cephalosporin antibiotics are ineffective against mycoplasma infection, and patients should pay attention to lifestyle modifications, avoid exertion, stay up late, go to bed early, and wake up early.In the diet, we should pay attention to avoid spicy and irritating foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as spinach and apples, and stop smoking and alcohol. You should also maintain good personal hygiene and avoid sharing towels, bath towels, etc. with others.
