When a child with mycoplasma pneumonia has a fever that goes away after taking azithromycin

After children with mycoplasma pneumonia take azithromycin, the time for fever to subside varies from person to person, depending on the severity of the condition and personal constitution, and the fever will generally subside within 24~72 hours.

Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that has a good effect on mycoplasma infection. For patients with mycoplasma pneumonia, azithromycin usually needs to be used continuously for 3~5 days, and the body temperature usually returns to normal in 24~72 hours.

However, everyone's condition and physical condition is different, so the time it takes for the fever to go away will also vary. Some patients may have a fever that goes away soon after taking azithromycin, while others may need a longer time.

If your child is more seriously ill or has other infections, the fever may take longer to go away.

If your child's fever does not go away within 72 hours of taking azithromycin, it is advisable to see a doctor who will adjust the treatment plan according to your child's specific situation.

Patients with known hypersensitivity to azithromycin, erythromycin, other macrolides, or ketolactones are contraindicated. Contraindicated in patients with a history of cholestatic jaundice/hepatic insufficiency after previous use of azithromycin.
