Mycoplasma pneumonia cough with phlegm is not about to heal

Mycoplasma pneumonia cough with phlegm does not determine whether it is about to be cured, and a comprehensive evaluation needs to be carried out in combination with clinical symptoms, signs, laboratory tests and other information.

1. Cough with phlegm: The cough symptoms of patients with mycoplasma pneumonia may be accompanied by purulent sputum, and persistent paroxysmal cough is a typical manifestation that may last for more than 4 weeks. However, coughing with phlegm is not the only indicator of improvement.

2. Other symptoms: The alleviation of symptoms such as fatigue, headache, sore throat, muscle aches, fever, etc., may indicate that the condition has improved.Some patients may have sinus and ear pain, and a few may have skin lesions such as maculopapular rash, erythema, and cold sores, and the disappearance of these symptoms may also indicate improvement.

3. Laboratory examination: Relevant laboratory examinations, such as microbiological examinations such as blood, urine, and sputum, as well as imaging examinations such as chest X-ray or CT, should be carried out to understand the changes in the condition and whether there are complications.

In summary, cough with phlegm alone cannot be used as a criterion for judging whether mycoplasma pneumonia is about to be cured, and doctors need to conduct a comprehensive evaluation based on clinical manifestations and relevant examination results.
