How long does it take for a five-month-old baby to get better with mycoplasma pneumonia

Five-month-old baby mycoplasma pneumonia generally takes two to three weeks to get better, and the specific time depends on the severity of the condition.

Mycoplasma pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs caused by mycoplasma infection, which can cause symptoms such as cough, body fever, and loss of appetite. If the condition is not particularly severe, but only a mild cough and body fever, the treatment time will be relatively short, and it may take up to two weeks. If the condition is severe, not only cough and body fever, but also dyspnea, chest tightness and other symptoms, the treatment time will be relatively long, it may take three weeks.

Mycoplasma pneumonia can be treated with drugs such as azithromycin granules and roxithromycin granules as prescribed by the doctor. If you have fever symptoms and your body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, you can follow the doctor's instructions for oral ibuprofen suspension, acetaminophen oral suspension and other medications. At the same time, you can use a warm wet towel to wipe the palms, soles, armpits and other parts of the hands to help the body dissipate heat. If you have difficulty breathing, you can treat it with nasal cannula oxygen, mask oxygen, etc.

In daily life, pay attention to rest, keep enough sleep, and avoid overexertion. If you have uncomfortable symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in a regular hospital in time.
