Combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children

Mycoplasma pneumonia in children generally has a slow onset, with an incubation period of 2-3 weeks, and most infections manifest as acute upper respiratory tract infection, pharyngitis, tracheobronchitis, and only about 10% manifest as pneumonia.Patients may have fever for 1 to 2 weeks, with a cough that begins as irritating dry, prolapsed, or coughs with a small amount of white sputum, and then turns into a persistent, severe cough that lasts for 2 weeks or more, and often lacks positive signs in the lungs.

Usage: 1 dose of water decoction per day, 1~2 weeks for 1 course of treatment. Efficacy criteria: According to the "Diagnostic Efficacy Criteria for Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndromes" issued by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Healing: Signs and symptoms disappear and laboratory and x-rays return to normal. Improvement: Symptoms and signs, laboratory tests have improved, and lung lesions on x-rays have not been completely absorbed. Unhealed: Those whose symptoms and signs do not improve or worsen.

When a child suffers from mycoplasma pneumonia, parents should ensure that the child is on bed rest, let the child drink more water, and eat light and easy-to-digest food; Children who are bedridden should pay attention to turning over frequently, which can not only increase pulmonary circulation, but also facilitate the dissipation of inflammation, and can also make sputum easy to cough up. In addition, parents should remove nasal and oral secretions for their children in time to keep the airway open.
