Can Mycoplasma pneumoniae heal on its own?

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection may resolve spontaneously, but the probability is low and most patients require treatment. The disease can be transmitted by droplets and is somewhat self-limiting, but if left untreated, the disease may progressively worsen and be detrimental to health.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a microorganism between bacteria and viruses that can survive unconditionally in the human respiratory tract and can induce diseases such as pneumonia and tracheitis. If the patient's autoimmunity is relatively strong, they may rely on their own immunity to remove Mycoplasma pneumoniae and achieve self-healing.However, most patients need to be treated because Mycoplasma pneumoniae is contagious and may be transmitted through respiratory droplets, which can lead to exacerbation if left untreated, which is not good for health. It is recommended that patients can use drugs such as azithromycin capsules, doxycycline hydrochloride capsules and other drugs for anti-infective treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, patients can also use drugs such as dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets and compound forcodine oral solution for cough treatment according to the doctor's instructions.

It is recommended that patients need to pay attention to maintaining a light diet during the treatment, and can eat millet porridge, noodles and other foods appropriately, and avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods such as chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. At the same time, patients also need to pay attention to drinking more water, which can improve their own immunity and facilitate disease recovery.
