Can mycoplasma pneumonia in children be transmitted to adults?

Mycoplasma pneumonia in children can be transmitted to adults because mycoplasma pneumonia is contagious.

Mycoplasma pneumonia is an acute inflammation of the lungs caused by mycoplasma, which is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets, but can also be transmitted through contact with items contaminated with secretions and excreta of infected people. If the immunity of adults is relatively low, contact with a person infected with mycoplasma pneumonia may be infected, resulting in cough, sputum production, fever, fatigue and other uncomfortable symptoms.If an adult is infected with mycoplasma pneumonia, personal protective measures need to be taken and direct contact with the patient should be avoided as much as possible. Patients can also be treated with medications such as azithromycin capsules, doxycycline hydrochloride capsules, etc., under the guidance of a doctor.

In daily life, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene, wash their hands frequently, and also pay attention to rest more and avoid overwork. Patients should also pay attention to a healthy diet, and can eat foods rich in high-quality protein, such as eggs, milk, etc., which are conducive to supplementing the nutrients needed by the body and improving the body's immunity. If symptoms of discomfort occur, patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly.
