Is it okay to use cephalosporin and azithromycin for mycoplasma pneumonia in children?

Cephalosporins generally refer to cephalosporin antibiotics, and cephalosporin antibiotics can be used for mycoplasma pneumonia in children, but azithromycin is generally not recommended. Because azithromycin is primarily directed at mycoplasma infection, and mycoplasma pneumonia is caused by mycoplasma infection, treatment with azithromycin is not effective.

Mycoplasma pneumonia is caused by mycoplasma infection and is an acute inflammatory disease that spreads mainly through respiratory droplets. Patients may present with symptoms such as fever, cough, sputum production, and malaise.Cephalosporin antibiotics are broad-spectrum antibiotics that are mainly used to treat diseases caused by bacterial infections and have no therapeutic effect on mycoplasma infections. Cephalosporin antibiotics are generally not recommended for children with mycoplasma pneumonia.

If the child has mycoplasma pneumonia, you can take azithromycin granules, roxithromycin granules and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, which can play an anti-inflammatory role and is conducive to the recovery of the condition.

In daily life, parents are advised to keep their children warm and avoid catching a cold. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the healthy diet of children, and avoid eating spicy, greasy and other irritating foods, such as chili peppers, fried chicken, etc. If there are uncomfortable symptoms, it is recommended that the child seek medical treatment in time.
