Patient's question:
Chest X-ray revealed Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. I was hospitalized for 8 days. During my hospital stay, I had high fever of 39.2°C, occasional snoring sounds in my throat, and rarely coughed. I was discharged yesterday at noon. In the morning, there was slightly more phlegm in my throat accompanied by coughing, and it became worse today.Previous treatment and effectiveness: During the hospital stay, I received intravenous fluids, mainly azithromycin, and oral triple therapy along with Ertapenem. After discharge, I took oral azithromycin suspension.
What kind of assistance do you need: Is this normal? When will I be completely recovered? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
General Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is primarily treated with azithromycin. Most cases require two courses of treatment, which is about half a month long, but there will be a few days off medication in between. It will gradually improve.Advice: I suggest you don’t hurry and allow the child to take azithromycin for an additional 4 days. Continue using Ertapenem as well. Generally, it will gradually heal completely.
The above advice is for the question "Bronchopneumonia after discharge, throat sounds soft." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
