Patient's question:
Not good, what's going on? The hospital didn't tell me what the illness is, and the medicine didn't work. It has been three days of high fever since it started. It was diagnosed as tonsillitis. Later, it kept coughing.History of previous treatment and effectiveness: IV fluids for 6 days, but the cough didn't disappear or improve. X-rays showed some lung textures, but it wasn't a big deal. Blood tests were done, and there were no abnormalities. I have been to several big hospitals, but it still didn't work. I have taken traditional Chinese medicine many times, including steamed pears with rock sugar, but it still didn't work.
What kind of help I need: Doctor, what illness do I really have? How should I be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the patient's medical history and age, it is primarily considered to be Mycoplasma pneumoniae-induced. Recommendations: The characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia include a prolonged course, with some cases of coughing persisting for up to 2 months and recurring. Azithromycin is a specific medication for Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, but Azithromycin itself has a significant impact on the gastrointestinal tract. The above advice is for the question "Coughing for over 2 months and still not improving." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
