Mycoplasma pneumonia infection take azithromycin for a few days

Mycoplasma pneumonia infection generally requires azithromycin for 5-7 days, but the specific time of medication needs to be decided by the doctor according to the severity of the patient's condition.

Mycoplasma pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs caused by mycoplasma infection, and patients will experience fever, cough, sputum production, sore throat, muscle aches, loss of appetite, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms. Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that can be used to treat mycoplasma pneumonia, otitis media, tonsillitis and other diseases.If the patient's condition is relatively mild and only has symptoms such as mild cough and sputum production, the therapeutic effect can be achieved by taking azithromycin for about 5 days. However, if the patient's condition is more serious and there are uncomfortable symptoms such as severe cough, sputum production, and fever, it may be necessary to take azithromycin for about 7 days, or even longer, to achieve the therapeutic effect.

Azithromycin requires a skin test before use, and azithromycin should be contraindicated if the patient is allergic to azithromycin. In addition, patients should take care to avoid drinking alcohol when taking azithromycin, so as not to cause serious adverse drug reactions. If the patient has severe gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms after taking azithromycin, the drug should be stopped in time and the patient should be treated in the hospital to avoid delaying the condition.
