Patient's question:
The child has been coughing for over a month. They took antibiotics for a week, which stopped the cough, but it started again. It keeps coming back. They have tried both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but the cough persists. There is phlegm in the morning. They took Azithromycin for three days and stopped. They have also been taking allergy medication, but the cough is still there. They previously had Mycoplasma pneumonia, and is it possible this is a recurrence? Can Mycoplasma pneumonia not be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Dear Consultee,According to your description, it is recommended that you take your child to the respiratory department for a follow-up visit. The doctor will conduct a detailed physical examination and relevant tests to determine your child's condition. Based on the test results, the doctor will provide symptomatic treatment. Please actively cooperate with the treatment as advised by the doctor. Wishing your little one a speedy recovery.
Recovering from pneumonia typically takes 1-3 months and requires meticulous care.
