How to treat mycoplasma infection in children
Children have weak body resistance and are easily injured by respiratory diseases, such as Mycoplasma infantilia infection. Once a child suffers from Mycoplasma infantilia, he will show obvious symptoms such as fatigue and loss of appetite, and some will be accompanied by dry cough, which is very harmful to the body. So, how is mycoplasma infection in children treated? Let's take a closer look.
The correct choice of antimicrobials is the key to the success or failure of the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia. Because mycoplasma hides in cells, and penicillins and cephalosporins have very low intracellular concentrations, and these two antibiotics kill bacteria by destroying the cell wall of bacteria, while mycoplasma does not have a cell wall, the above two antibiotics are "powerless".
Clinical application has confirmed that erythromycin has a high concentration in cells and can kill mycoplasma, but erythromycin has greater side effects, and has been replaced by azithromycin in recent years, which has a long effect time and only needs to be taken once a day, with relatively few side effects. Generally, you need to take the drug for 2~3 weeks, otherwise it is easy to relapse.
It is more effective to use TCM Gynitis Pill while taking antibiotics, because TCM treatment of mycoplasma infection is not only against 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.
Children with mycoplasma pneumonia should be treated as soon as possible, during the illness, parents should let their children rest more, keep the air fresh in the bedroom, for children with mycoplasma pneumonia, the best room temperature is 18 °C ~ 20 °C and maintain about 60% humidity, in case the respiratory secretions become dry and not easy to cough up. Also pay attention to your child's diet and nutrition, encourage your child to drink plenty of water, cook nutritious and easy-to-digest food, and eat small, frequent meals. Because mycoplasma pneumonia is contagious and prone to recurrence, treatment should be thorough and isolation should be taken during illness.
Prevention of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is mainly based on physical fitness. Take your child to carry out more outdoor activities and physical exercises, especially strengthening breathing exercises, to improve respiratory function. Teach children to cover their mouths with a handkerchief or paper when coughing, so that phlegm droplets do not spray around, and do not spit, so as to prevent germs from polluting the air and infecting others. Children who are susceptible to respiratory infections should pay attention to climate change during the cold season or when the climate changes suddenly, and add clothes in time to prevent colds.
Obviously, how to treat mycoplasma infection in children needs to be decided according to the child's condition, but the current effect of treating this kind of disease is still very good, when the child is found to have this kind of disease, do not use it yourself, but go to a regular hospital for treatment, and do a good job in the child's care measures, and strive to recover as soon as possible.
