How to diagnose mycoplasma pneumoniae infection cough

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not doing well mentally, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. How can I be diagnosed with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection cough?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Mycoplasma infection can be detected through blood or saliva tests. Mycoplasma infection requires macrolide drugs, such as azithromycin. If it is a Mycoplasma infection, the treatment duration is generally longer, lasting 1-4 weeks, and erythromycin drugs can be used. Additionally, cough syrup and throat soothing medications should be added for symptomatic treatment. The most important thing is to avoid irritants like wind and smoke, and to keep warm until fully recovered.
