Patient's question:
Female, 8 years old. An 8-year-old girl with fever and cough. On the fourth day of outpatient examination, Mycoplasma infection was carefully checked, and left lung pneumonia was diagnosed. She was treated with Cefixime and Azithromycin. After 4 days, her fever subsided. Azithromycin was used for 5 days, followed by Erythromycin for 3 days. She has now started the second round of Azithromycin treatment. The entire course of the illness has lasted 12 days. On percussion, there are no abnormal sounds, and both lungs show normal respiration. The child's spirits have improved somewhat. What should be done about the rales? I would like to ask many questions about respiratory issues from a respiratory physician. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the recurrence of pneumonia should be treated with a sufficient course of proper medication. For this condition, you should undergo a proper and sufficient course of treatment. Mycoplasma infection generally takes about half a month to recover clinically. Only then can it surpass the self-healing threshold of clinical diagnosis. The above is advice for the question "Female, 8 years old. 8-year-old girl with fever and cough," hoping it helps you. Wishing you good health!
