Mycoplasma pneumonia recurrent fever what's going on

Recurrent fever in patients with mycoplasma pneumonia is first and foremost associated with the characteristics of the disease. Secondly, it is also considered to be due to improper medication or bacterial resistance.

1. Disease characteristics: Mycoplasma pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and patients will have symptoms such as dry cough and fever. Fever is generally of moderate intensity and can last for 2~3 weeks, so patients with mycoplasma pneumonia have recurrent fever, and the first consideration is the characteristics of the disease.

2. Improper medication: Mycoplasma pneumonia is self-limiting, and patients with mild symptoms can be cured spontaneously. However, if the patient is seriously ill and does not follow the doctor's instructions to follow the course of treatment, take the medication in sufficient amount, or even self-medicate, the condition is not controlled, and the fever will recur.

3. Bacterial resistance: If the patient abuses antibiotics for a long time, some bacteria will mutate into drug-resistant strains, which will affect the efficacy of the drug, resulting in the inability to improve the condition, thus causing the patient to have repeated fever.

Patients with mycoplasma pneumonia with recurrent fever can go to the hospital for detailed consultation. If the drug is improperly used or bacteria develop drug resistance, it is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions to use the appropriate drug according to the course of treatment and in sufficient amount.
