What should I do if mycoplasma pneumonia is cured and I start to have a fever again after a week

Mycoplasma pneumonia has been cured for a week and fever begins to start first, the cause should be found, the possible reasons are insufficient treatment, improper medication, other infections, etc., and there are different solutions for different reasons.

1. The course of treatment is insufficient: the treatment time of mycoplasma pneumonia is longer than that of general bacterial pneumonia, usually two weeks. The patient has mycoplasma pneumonia for a week, and it is likely that the disease has been temporarily controlled after only one week of medication, but the patient has stopped the drug spontaneously and the pneumonia has recurred, and the drug should be continued according to the course of treatment.

2. Improper medication: Mycoplasma pneumonia is pneumonia caused by mycoplasma infection, mycoplasma has no cell wall, between bacteria and viruses, and conventional antibiotic drugs such as penicillin are ineffective against it. Macrolides such as azithromycin or quinolones such as levofloxacin are preferred. However, quinolones are contraindicated in adolescents under 18 years of age.

3. Combined with other infections: After mycoplasma pneumonia infection, the patient's immunity decreases, and the body is in a relatively weak state, which is easy to be invaded by pathogens, and fever symptoms will appear after infection. At this time, the pathogen of infection should be identified, and the appropriate drug should be selected for further treatment according to the pathogen.

Patients should follow the doctor's advice, take their medications on time, monitor their vital signs regularly, and go to the hospital immediately if they feel unwell to avoid adverse consequences.
