How to treat mycoplasma infection thoroughly in your child

A child's mycoplasma infection needs to be treated thoroughly depending on the severity of the disease, and if there is no obvious fever and cough, treatment is needed. If fever and significant cough develop, anti-inflammatory treatment with macrolide antibiotics can be used.

1. Mild infection. Mycoplasma infection is a self-limiting disease. If the symptoms are mild after infection, there is no obvious fever and cough. Generally, it requires medication and can heal on its own in about two weeks.

2. Severe infection.If your child is infected with mycoplasma and has obvious fever and severe cough symptoms, you need to go to the pediatric department of the hospital in time and cooperate with the doctor to do blood routine, mycoplasma and lung x-rays to confirm whether there is a lung infection.

If there is no lung infection, but only an upper respiratory tract infection, you can take macrolide antibiotics such as roxithromycin or azithromycin as prescribed for anti-inflammatory treatment. At the same time, the child is given cough and phlegm medicines, such as acute syrup.

If the lung is examined and it is confirmed that you have mycoplasma pneumonia, you need to pay attention to the treatment, cooperate with the doctor intravenous infusion of azithromycin and other macrolide antibiotics to reduce inflammation, and use ambroxol and other cough and expectorant drugs at the same time, which can be cured in about 2 weeks.
