What drugs are used to treat mycoplasma pneumonia in children
Pediatric mycoplasma pneumonia can be treated with macrolide antibiotics, quinolone antibiotics, cough and phlegm medicines, antipyretics, nebulizers and other drugs.
1. Macrolide antibiotics
Macrolide antibiotics are a class of antibacterial drugs with a common chemical structure of 12-16 carbolactone rings, and their main role is to achieve antibacterial purposes by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial proteins. Commonly used macrolide antibiotics include erythromycin, roxithromycin, azithromycin, etc., which are mainly used for the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia.
