What should I do if Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia recurs?

Patient's question:

Got pneumonia and mycoplasma, and this year it's rife with fever. The mycoplasma keeps recurring. I've already used twenty erythromycin, but it hasn't fully recovered yet. What kind of assistance is needed: A good remedy for treating mycoplasma pneumonia.

Doctor's answer:

Mycoplasma is only sensitive to macrolide antibiotics, which means that other antibiotics have no thorough clearing effect on mycoplasma. Therefore, once mycoplasma infection is diagnosed, the treatment plan is basically confirmed, either erythromycin or azithromycin, which can be administered either intravenously or orally. Azithromycin may cause liver damage, so it is generally used for 5 days. If special attention is required, there should be a rest period of 2-3 days in between. Generally, treatment for two weeks can lead to full recovery.
