Patient's question:
On 12/7, I had an outbreak of illness, coughing with phlegm. After a thorough examination, it was identified as mycoplasma infection. I experienced vomiting and diarrhea, and the urine test results showed bacterial infection. The doctor prescribed Azithromycin, Montmorillonite, and Pediatric Lung Heat Cough and Asthma Granules, except for Shenqin Jianwei Granules.Doctor's answer:
Mycoplasma and bacteria have different pathogens. Mycoplasma infection generally has a slow onset, with mild symptoms and atypical clinical manifestations. Bacterial infection generally has a faster onset and weak infectious symptoms. In mycoplasma infection, a complete blood count shows normal white blood cell count, slightly elevated or slightly decreased, with a high percentage of neutrophils. In bacterial infection, a complete blood count shows elevated white blood cells and a high percentage of neutrophils.
