Patient's question:
Coughing at night with a fever, no fever during the day, intermittent coughing, lasting for about seven or eight days, injections have not been very effective. Went to the hospital for examination, X-ray, and blood test. The doctor said it was mycoplasma pneumonia.Doctor's answer:
Applying antimicrobial drugs can significantly shorten the course of the disease. Since Mycoplasma pneumoniae lacks a cell wall, it is not sensitive to β-lactam antibiotics. Currently, the main drugs for treating Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia are macrolides (azithromycin, clarithromycin), tetracyclines (doxycycline, minocycline), and quinolones (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, moxifloxacin).
