What are the symptoms of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in children?

Children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection may have symptoms such as fever, cough, sputum production, shortness of breath, and fatigue.

1. Fever

A child infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae may have its thermoregulatory center affected, resulting in an increase in body temperature. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, the child can use a warm towel to wipe the body, or you can attach a heat-reducing patch to the forehead to help dissipate heat from the body. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, the child can take medication such as acetaminophen tablets and ibuprofen suspension as prescribed.

2. Cough

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children may cause irritation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, causing coughing symptoms. Children can be treated with Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide Granules, etc., as prescribed by the doctor.

3. Coughing up phlegm

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children may cause irritation of the bronchial mucosa, resulting in sputum production. Children can take drugs such as Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution and Acetylcysteine Granules as prescribed by the doctor.

4. Shortness of breath

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children may cause congestion and edema of the bronchial mucosa, resulting in shortness of breath. Children can take azithromycin granules, amoxicillin granules and other medications according to the doctor's instructions.

5. Physical fatigue

If the condition of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in a child is more severe, it may lead to a decrease in the body's immunity, resulting in symptoms of fatigue.Children can eat foods rich in high-quality protein, such as eggs, milk, etc., which can supplement the nutrients needed by the body, and can also participate in aerobic exercises, such as running, skipping rope, etc., to enhance their own resistance.

If the child has uncomfortable symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition. In daily life, children should pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, ensure adequate sleep, and maintain a happy mood, which is conducive to the recovery of the condition.
