Is mycoplasma infection contagious in children?

Both children are infected with mycoplasma and need to seek medical attention and medication under the guidance of a doctor.

Mycoplasma is a microorganism that is between bacteria and viruses in size and is widely found on human surfaces, such as the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary tract. Mycoplasma infection can occur if a child does not observe personal hygiene and comes into contact with secretions, clothing and utensils from an infected person.

If the child has fever, cough, sore throat and other uncomfortable symptoms, you can take azithromycin granules, erythromycin succinicin granules and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If your child has a fever and has a temperature of more than 38.5°C, he or she can be treated with medications such as ibuprofen suspension and acetaminophen oral solution.

When a child has mycoplasma infection, he should go to the hospital in time, carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid self-use of drugs to avoid adverse reactions. During the treatment, the child needs to pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, and at the same time pay attention to maintaining a light diet and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, so as not to affect the recovery of the condition.
