Do children with mycoplasma infection need to be infusions?

Mycoplasma infection in children does not necessarily require infusion therapy, and the need for infusion therapy depends on the specific condition of the child's condition.

Mycoplasma is a pathogenic bacterium, and children infected with mycoplasma may experience respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough, and sore throat. If the child is infected with a pathogen with weak virulence, the clinical symptoms are relatively mild, mainly low-grade fever, and there are no symptoms such as repeated high fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, etc. Oral medications, such as azithromycin, erythromycin, roxithromycin, etc., can be taken under the guidance of a doctor, and infusion therapy is not necessarily required. If a child has a fever that lasts for about 1 week after mycoplasma infection, pneumonia may develop. Symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing may occur. This condition predisposes to lung consolidation and requires infusion therapy. Intravenous infusion can be given at the beginning of the course of the disease, and the main intravenous point of mycoplasma pneumonia is azithromycin or erythromycin, and oral antibiotic treatment can be changed after the body temperature is normal, and the course of treatment is about 2-3 weeks. If the child is infected with mycoplasma urogenitourinary, oral drug treatment is recommended for this infection, and drug susceptibility test can be done, and sensitive antibiotics can be selected for symptomatic treatment, and the effect will be better. In addition, if the infection is caused by ureaplasma urealyticum, infusion therapy is not required, and sensitive antibiotics can be taken orally.
