Treatment for mycoplasma infection
1. Antibiotic treatment
The correct choice of antimicrobials is the key to the success or failure of the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia. The most effective treatment for mycoplasma pneumonia is erythromycin, but because erythromycin can cause more severe gastrointestinal reactions, other macrolide antibiotics such as crosssamycin, medisomycin, spiramycin, leukomycin, and meiocarmycin can be used instead. The new generation of macrolide antibiotics, such as roxithromycin and azithromycin, generally need to be taken for 2-3 weeks due to the small number of doses and low side effects, otherwise it is easy to recur.
2. Asthma
For patients with severe wheezing, bronchodilators, such as aminophylline orally, 4-6mg/(kg), once every 6~8 hours; Or salbutamol can be inhaled, etc.
3. Fever
Low-grade fever can be treated, and body temperature above 38°C can be treated with Enric.
4. Expectorant
The aim is to make the sputum thinner and easier to drain to reduce the chance of bacterial infection. In addition to strengthening turning, patting the back, atomization, and sputum suction, expectorants such as Biyuping and phlegm Yijing can be used. Since cough is the most prominent clinical manifestation of mycoplasma pneumonia, frequent and severe cough will affect the child's sleep and rest, and sedatives such as chloral hydrate or phenobarbital can be appropriately given, and low-dose codeine can be given as appropriate, but the frequency should not be too much.
5. Combination of Chinese and Western treatment
It is more effective to use TCM at the same time as taking antibiotics, because TCM treatment for mycoplasma infection is not only for mycoplasma, but also mobilizes the body's immune function, promotes expectoration, and enhances respiratory function. It is commonly used to combine drugs such as ephedra, almonds, raw gypsum, skullcap, shoot dry, cicada clothes, zombie silkworms, front hu, and sand ginseng.
6. Other symptomatic treatment
In addition, many children may also have extrarespiratory symptoms, such as rash, muscle and joint pain, swelling, hemolytic anemia, myocarditis, pericarditis and other complications, all of which need to be treated in a targeted manner.
