What are the treatments for mycoplasma pneumonia? We know that there are many treatments for mycoplasma pneumonia, but which one is more suitable is the focus of our attention, so let's introduce the two treatments for mycoplasma pneumonia to see which one is better.

Treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia:

General treatment

Respiratory isolation, rest, adequate water and nutrients. Symptomatic treatment: Salicylic acid drugs should not be avoided to prevent hemolysis. Antipyretic analgesics with slow and long-lasting effects, such as acetylphenol, calcium carbaspirin, lysamperine, bupleurum, etc., are generally used, supplemented by physical cooling when the fever is high. Dissolves phlegm and relieves cough. Clears nasal secretions and keeps the airway open. It can be inhaled by nebulization if necessary.

Antimicrobial therapy

Erythromycin 30~50mg/(kg?d) is the first choice in clinical practice, divided into 4 oral doses, and 1.5g/d for adults, divided into 3 oral doses, with a course of 2~3 weeks. New macrolide drugs, such as roxithromycin, have few gastrointestinal side effects, high body fluid concentration, strong cell penetration, long half-life, and small dosage, 5mg~10mg/(kg?d), divided into 2 oral doses. The first dose of the new drug azithromycin capsule is 10mg/(kg?d), followed by 5mg/(kg?d), once orally, 5 days as a course of treatment. Due to the long half-life, the effect of the drug can still last for 1 week after discontinuation. Norfloxacin or ciprofloxacin is also used, 0.4g each time, 2 times/d, and the course of treatment is 5~7 days.

The above-mentioned treatment method of mycoplasma pneumonia is a method with good application effect that has been tested in practice, and everyone is required to go to a regular hospital and consult experts in combination with their actual situation when choosing the treatment method of mycoplasma pneumonia to formulate a suitable treatment plan.
