How to prevent mycoplasma pneumonia?

Mycoplasma pneumonia (mycoplasmapneumonia), also known as primary atypical pneumonia and condensation positive pneumonia, is one of the atypical pneumonias, which is caused by mycoplasma (MP) infection, showing interstitial pneumonia and bronchiolitis-like changes, accounting for 10%~40% of community-acquired pneumonia in children, and pulmonary lesions are confluent bronchopneumonia, interstitial pneumonia, and bronchitis.Alveoli have a small inflammatory exudate, and focal atelectasis, consolidation, and emphysema can occur. The clinical manifestation is lung inflammation with intractable severe cough. MP is one of the important pathogens of pneumonia and other respiratory infections in childhood. Mycoplasma pneumoniae can cause tonsillitis, rhinitis, otitis media, tracheitis, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and upper respiratory tract infections in young children and school-age children.

Prevention of Mycoplasma Pneumonia:

1. Drink plenty of warm water, strengthen exercise, and ventilate the room in the dry and cold season.

2. Mycoplasma infection can cause small epidemics, so attention should be paid to respiratory isolation.

3. In autumn and winter, the room should also be regularly opened for ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh.

4. Eat foods that are easy to digest and are rich in nutrients.

5. Carry out more outdoor activities and physical exercise, especially strengthen breathing exercises, to improve respiratory function.

6. When going out in the cold season or sudden change in climate, you should add clothes in time to prevent cold. Macrolide antibiotics are commonly used antimycoplasma drugs.
