How to use medicine for mycoplasma pneumonia

Pediatric mycoplasma pneumonia disease usually needs to be treated by infusion, mainly with macrocyclic ester antibacterial drugs, which can be treated with azithromycin infusion or erythromycin infusion, and the specific medication regimen needs to be given an appropriate amount according to the age and weight of the child. If you are not sensitive to the above antibiotics, you can choose respiratory fluoroquinolones, such as levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, etc., and those with severe cough can be appropriately treated with cough suppressants. Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia can be treated with macrolides and quinolones, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an atypical pathogen that is neither bacterial nor viral.

Is pneumonia serious in children?

If the clinical symptoms are mild, with only a slight cough, white sticky sputum, and antibiotics for about a week, the pneumonia will be cured. Most of the children can be cured with anti-infection and supportive symptomatic treatment, and a small number of children will develop severe pneumonia with more serious consequences. Whether a child has pneumonia or not needs to be analyzed in combination with the specific situation.

Pneumonia coughing up blood is what's going on

Then there are some special bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and anaerobic bacteria, such bacteria are easy to form cavities and cause serious lung damage, such bacteria will easily lead to hemoptysis in patients, and in severe cases, hemoptysis will occur, and treatment requires active hemostasis and supportive treatment with special drugs. There are many causes of hemoptysis, and its causes can be summarized as follows: airway and alveolar capillary inflammation: bacteria, mycoplasma, viruses, chlamydia, parasites, various dusts, foreign bodies, stones, etc. can cause exudation, congestion, edema, necrosis, and airway obstruction of the airway mucosa and alveolar capillaries, resulting in atelectasis, which becomes the pathological basis of hemoptysis. Therefore, when the child coughs up blood when he has pneumonia, he needs to be hospitalized quickly, try to do a chest CT scan to judge the extent of the condition, and give some appropriate treatment.
