Is mycoplasma infection in children contagious?

The symptom of mycoplasma infection in children is that the incubation period of mycoplasma infection in children is relatively long, usually within a few weeks. Most patients have symptoms of pharyngitis, rhinitis, tracheitis and bronchiolitis, which are manifested by fever, headache, loss of appetite and so on. Generally, patients will have a cough, the child often has a dry cough at the beginning of the cough, and then slowly turns into a stubborn and more violent cough, during which the cough will not be accompanied by phlegm, and some will be accompanied by a small amount of sticky sputum, which is almost as light as saliva. For infants and young children, it is often difficult to breathe and severe symptoms of wheezing. In severe cases, mycoplasma pneumonia can occur, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection may also cause lesions in organs other than the respiratory tract. When children have mycoplasma infection, they should be treated in time, parents should pay attention to let their children rest more, and maintain a ventilated and fresh air environment. Try to let your child drink as much water as possible, and pay attention to the coordination of your child's diet and nutrition. Precautions for mycoplasma infection examination 1. Mycoplasma antibody detection is the main means of diagnosis of mycoplasma infection, but it must be combined with the clinical characteristics of the child's disease, and mycoplasma infection cannot be confirmed only by a positive antibody test. If the child's condition does not improve after 3-5 days of treatment with mycoplasma, it should be considered that the diagnosis is wrong, and the doctor needs to give feedback on the treatment information in time. 2. If the child is allergic, such as severe eczema when he was a child, repeated urticaria, allergic rhinitis, etc., if the child's cough does not improve for more than a week after catching a cold or wheezing, it is highly suspected that it is asthma or allergic cough. Don't just take antibiotics. 3. There is no tendency to recur after mycoplasma infection, and the course of macrolide antibiotic treatment is sufficient for 2-3 weeks, and it is not a continuous medication. It is to eat 3 to stop 4, or eat 5 to stop 5 (that is, eat for three days and stop for four days, or eat for five days and stop for five days, and a course of treatment is not more than one week.) Then use one of the methods provided above. Do not prolong the duration of treatment, otherwise long-term medication will bring many side effects.
