How to deal with a positive Mycoplasma pneumoniae that causes a severe cough at night

If Mycoplasma pneumoniae is positive and causes severe cough at night, it can be dealt with mainly by means of medication, life adjustment, disease observation and timely medical treatment.

1. Drug treatment: Doctors usually prescribe antibiotics such as azithromycin, levofloxacin, etc., according to the specific situation of the patient, to inhibit the growth of mycoplasma, so as to reduce cough symptoms. If the cough interferes with rest, your doctor may prescribe additional cough suppressants. During the medication, it is necessary to take it regularly and quantitatively according to the doctor's instructions.

2. Life adjustment: keep the indoor air fresh, avoid irritants such as smoke and dust, and minimize the inducement of coughing. Keep warm to prevent coughing from worsening due to cold. Get a good night's sleep and get enough rest to help your body recover.

3. Observation of the condition: pay attention to the nature of the cough and the condition of the sputum, such as the amount of sputum, blood in the sputum, etc., which may be a signal of the change of the condition.

4. Seek medical attention in time: If the cough symptoms do not improve significantly or the condition is aggravated after treatment, you should seek medical attention in time and adjust the treatment plan. Doctors usually recommend that patients continue to take the medication for a period of time after the symptoms disappear to completely remove mycoplasma from the body and prevent recurrence.

The above methods are all designed to alleviate cough symptoms caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, but each person's constitution and condition are different, and the specific treatment plan needs to be carried out according to the doctor's advice.
