How to tell if mycoplasma pneumonia has been cured

The judgment of recovery of mycoplasma pneumonia is mainly based on four aspects: normal body temperature, disappearance of symptoms, improvement of lung imaging and return to normal laboratory examination.

1. Body temperature returns to normal: patients with mycoplasma pneumonia usually have fever symptoms, and when the body temperature returns to normal levels and remains stable for a period of time, it can be preliminarily judged that the condition has improved.

2. Disappearance of symptoms: Common symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia include cough, sputum production, chest pain, etc. When these symptoms disappear, it is a sign that the patient's condition is under control.

3. Improvement of lung imaging: The improvement of lung inflammation can be observed through chest X-ray or CT examination. When imaging shows that the area of inflammation has shrunk or disappeared significantly, the lesion in the lungs has been repaired.

4. Laboratory tests return to normal: The patient's condition can be assessed through laboratory tests such as blood routine, C-reactive protein, and mycoplasma antibodies. When these indicators return to normal, it means that the patient has recovered.

The above four aspects are the basis for comprehensive judgment, and if these four conditions are met, it can be preliminarily judged that mycoplasma pneumonia has been cured. However, the final judgment of the condition should be made by the doctor on a case-by-case basis. After the condition improves, the patient should still have regular follow-up examinations to ensure that the physical condition is restored.
