Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection take azithromycin for a few days

Mycoplasma belong to prokaryotes and are coated with only one layer of cell membrane. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is infected by respiratory inhalation through droplets and is susceptible to children and adolescents. The clinical onset of mycoplasma pneumonia is relatively slow, and the fever is generally around 38°C, and occasionally high fever. Dry cough is the most prominent symptom of the disease, with paroxysmal cough, often white or bloodshot if there is sputum. Mycoplasma pneumonia is the preferred antimicrobial drug for the treatment of the pathogen, and azithromycin has the strongest therapeutic effect on Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Other drugs such as erythromycin, tetracycline, and fluoroquinolones can also be used, but tetracyclines are contraindicated for pregnant women and children under 8 years of age, and fluoroquinolones are contraindicated for children under 18 years of age.Azithromycin should be treated differently from adults in clinical application, and attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of adverse reactions of antimicrobial drugs: 1. Adults: oral, 500mg on the first day, 250mg daily on the 2nd ~ 5th day, or 500mg daily for 3 days, severe cases, the medication time can be extended according to the situation. 2. Children: 10mg/kg on the first day (the maximum amount per day does not exceed 500mg); On the 2nd ~ 5th day, 5mg/kg daily (the maximum amount per day does not exceed 250mg), and in severe cases, the medication time can be extended according to the situation. The above drugs are used under the guidance of clinical application.
