Patient's question:
There will be fever, body feels hot, and then go to the school clinic for a thorough check-up. The school nurse said it was contagious and needed to be given intravenous drips. After the drips were finished, it felt better, but within two or three days, there was again chest pain. It always felt like something was blocking the nose. Later, after a thorough check-up at the hospital, the doctor said it was chlamydial pneumonia.What kind of assistance is needed: What should be paid attention to with chlamydial pneumonia? What symptoms may reappear?
Doctor's answer:
Currently, the antibiotics that can effectively combat mycoplasma and chlamydia infections include erythromycin derivatives, roxithromycin derivatives, azithromycin derivatives, and clarithromycin derivatives; other antibiotics are either ineffective or have poor efficacy.2- A "pulse therapy" approach is generally adopted, where the dosage is doubled for the first two days (or the first day), and the standard dose is started from the third day. The total treatment duration is 7-14 days (usually 14 days).
3- For a four-year-old child, the standard dosage is as follows:
- Erythromycin: 1 gram per day, 3-4 times a day (doubled on the first day).
- Azithromycin: 0.25 grams per day (0.5 grams on the first day), taken twice.
