Is mycoplasma pneumonia contagious?

Maybe many friends will have such worries, if they are with someone with mycoplasma pneumonia, will they be infected? The following is an introduction to whether mycoplasma pneumonia is contagious, for your reference only.

Is mycoplasma pneumonia contagious

First, common mycoplasma pneumonia does not cause infection in other people. Because the inflammation of the lungs of ordinary mycoplasma pneumonia is relatively mild, and it will not be coughed up at the same time. Many infectious diseases are caused by a particularly contagious infectious bacteria, and this general mycoplasma pneumonia is caused by a combination of many bacteria.

Then there's the contagious mycoplasma pneumonia, and if you notice someone coughing up blood and being pale, stay away from them a little bit, but don't hurt someone's self-esteem. However, general mycoplasma pneumonia is very contagious. Therefore, it is generally rare to hear that there are many people with mycoplasma pneumonia.

Then it is necessary to make your physique better, so as to reduce the chance of infection. Do not enter and exit public places such as the respiratory department too frequently. Be sure to wear a mask. Some elderly people, drunk people, are prone to mycoplasma pneumonia. Because their resistance is particularly poor at this time, they are particularly vulnerable to the invasion of germs.

Nursing work for mycoplasma pneumonia

1. Keep a quiet and clean environment to ensure that sick children rest. On the one hand, it is not conducive to the rest of the children due to the noisy crowd, and at the same time, the carbon dioxide exhaled is accumulated, and the dirty air is not conducive to the recovery of mycoplasma pneumonia.

There should not be too many people indoors, visitors should not stay too long, and the room should be ventilated regularly to allow air circulation, but it should be avoided to avoid penetrating the hall, which is conducive to the recovery of mycoplasma pneumonia.

2. Attention should be paid to reasonable nutrition and adequate hydration. Children with mycoplasma pneumonia often have high fever, poor appetite, and reluctance to eat, so the diet should be light and easy to digest, and at the same time ensure a certain amount of high-quality protein.

Patients with fever should be given a liquid diet, such as human milk, milk, rice soup, egg drop soup, beef soup, vegetable soup, fruit juice, etc., and semi-liquid foods such as porridge, noodles, cakes and other foods can be added after fever.

3. Strengthen skin and oral care, especially for patients who sweat a lot, change their wet clothes in time and wipe off the sweat with a hot towel, which is good for skin heat dissipation and resistance to germs.

For sick children with a lot of sputum, sputum should be coughed up as much as possible to prevent poor sputum discharge and affect the recovery of mycoplasma pneumonia. If the condition allows, parents should often pick up the child, gently pat the back, and the bedridden child should turn over frequently, which can not only prevent pulmonary congestion, but also make the sputum easy to cough up, which is conducive to recovery.

4. Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed, when children suffer from mycoplasma pneumonia, the gas exchange in the alveoli is restricted, and there are different degrees of hypoxia in the body.If the nasal cavity is blocked or there is a large amount of sputum in the trachea and bronchi, it will affect the inhalation of air and aggravate the lack of oxygen.

Treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia

General treatment: During the treatment of patients with mycoplasma pneumonia, the patients living in the hospital are very particular, and they need to pay attention to air circulation, and the room temperature generally needs to be kept between 18~20 °C, because the patient will cough, so the humidity of the air should be kept at 60%. At the same time, it should be noted that because the patient's appetite is poor, then it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the diet should be light, but the nutrition should be comprehensive, eat more rich in vitamins and proteins, and severe patients can also be given intravenous supplements to supplement the nutrients needed by the body. Upper respiratory secretions are coughed up immediately after they are vomited to keep the airway open.

Mycoplasma pneumonia is an infectious disease of the lungs. Therefore, patients need to choose their own appropriate antibiotics and antiviral drugs for the pathogen after the diagnosis is clear. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are used until the diagnosis is made, along with symptomatic treatment with drugs that relieve symptoms.Patients with fever are treated with fever-reducing treatment, and patients with headache are given analgesic drugs.

Adrenocorticosteroid therapy: Adrenocorticosteroids are generally not required in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia. For some patients with severe wheezing and dyspnea, and complications occur, such as cerebral edema, respiratory failure, and some patients with severe mycoplasma pneumonia, adrenal sebacein is needed in addition to adequate antibiotic treatment.
