Mycoplasma pneumonia is a respiratory tract infection caused by mycoplasma, which is a relatively serious disease, mainly affecting respiratory symptoms, otitis media, bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis aggravation, lung infection, etc.

1. Respiratory symptoms: Mycoplasma pneumonia often causes respiratory symptoms such as cough, sore throat, throat congestion, and sputum production. In severe cases, it may cause difficulty breathing. 2. Otitis media: Mycoplasma infection can also easily cause otitis media, especially in children. Otitis media can cause symptoms such as earache, hearing loss, and otorrhoea.

3. Bronchial asthma: Some people infected with mycoplasma may have symptoms of bronchial asthma, including wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough.

4. Aggravation of chronic bronchitis: For people who already have chronic bronchitis, mycoplasma infection may lead to aggravation of symptoms, such as cough, increased sputum, etc.

5. Lung infection: Mycoplasma infection can cause inflammation and infection of the lungs, resulting in damage to the lung structure. In severe cases, pneumonia may develop, affecting lung function. It can also be spread to others, especially children, the elderly, people with compromised immune systems, people with chronic illnesses, and smokers. Please note that the above are general hazards and may vary depending on the individual. If you develop respiratory symptoms or suspect mycoplasma pneumonia, seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment and management.
