Patient's question:
My son has pneumonia and is also experiencing diarrhea and vomiting. He was admitted to the hospital, but he stopped vomiting the next day. After staying in the hospital for three days, his pneumonia was cured, but his diarrhea did not improve. The doctor said it was a mycoplasma infection. I would like to ask, what exactly is a mycoplasma infection? Can it be cured? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
It is an infectious disease caused by a pathogen, which can be cured. It is not severe, and generally, a course of macrolide antibiotics is sufficient. However, you need to pay attention to keeping warm and improving nutrition. Chlamydia infection usually requires a drug sensitivity test to select the appropriate antibiotic for treatment. The treatment course is 2 weeks. Pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness, drink more water. Additionally, chlamydia infection can be transmitted through sexual contact, so sexual activity should be avoided until it is cured to prevent cross-infection. Follow-up tests are required after treatment is completed. Can mycoplasma infection be cured? A negative result three times or more is considered cured. At the same time, sexual partners should also be tested and treated promptly if there are any issues.
