Is mycoplasma infection contagious after 5 days of coughing?

Whether mycoplasma infection cough is contagious after 5 days depends on the specific situation. If the patient is infected with mycoplasma and coughs for 5 days, the pathogen in the body is basically eliminated and is generally not contagious. If a patient has a cough with mycoplasma infection for 5 days and the pathogen is not completely eliminated from the body, it can be contagious.

Mycoplasma infection cough for 5 days, and if the mycoplasma infection is cleared from the patient's body, it is generally not contagious. Because mycoplasma in the patient's body is not transmitted by coughing, sneezing, talking loudly, etc., it does not cause disease transmission.

If a patient has a cough with mycoplasma infection for 5 days and the mycoplasma is not completely eliminated from the body, the infection may be contagious. Because there is a certain incubation period after mycoplasma infection, during the incubation period, the patient may not have obvious symptoms, but at this time, the patient also contains a certain amount of mycoplasma, and if they come into contact with others, they may infect others through contact transmission.

It is recommended that patients pay attention to personal protection in daily life, wear masks when going out, and avoid going to crowded places. If uncomfortable symptoms appear, patients can be treated with drugs such as azithromycin tablets, levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules, etc., under the guidance of a doctor.
