Can I use fever reducers if I have mycoplasma pneumonia fever?

Patients with mycoplasma pneumonia can use antipyretics under the guidance of a doctor when they have a fever, and they should also pay attention to physical cooling, but they must ensure that the medication is safe, and the dose cannot be increased or the course of treatment cannot be extended at will.

For patients with mycoplasma pneumonia, antipyretics may be used when they have a fever. The purpose of using antipyretics is to lower the body temperature and reduce the patient's discomfort, but they should be used under the guidance of a doctor. The choice of drug should be based on factors such as the patient's age, weight, and history of drug allergies. In the process of medication, the dose of the drug should not be increased or the course of medication should not be extended at will, and the maximum period should not exceed 5 days. If there is no improvement within a few days after taking the drug, you should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

In addition, in addition to drug cooling, physical cooling is also an effective means of cooling. For patients with a body temperature of 39~40°C, cold or ice water can be used to wipe the skin with cold or ice water, or fans, ice blankets and ice packs can be used to increase the evaporation of water to help reduce core body temperature.

The use of antipyretics does not treat mycoplasma pneumonia itself, but only symptomatic treatment to relieve the discomfort caused by fever. For the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia, anti-infective therapy is required under the guidance of a doctor.
