Patient's question:
My baby has been coughing for a week and has taken two courses of azithromycin, but there hasn't been much significant effect—still coughing. The blood test showed pneumonia mycoplasma infection at a 1:80 titer, which was negative. There's still some stuffiness in the nose, not much phlegm, and they've done two days of inhalation therapy, but the coughing persists. Is it possible that azithromycin is no longer effective when taken frequently? The baby is 3 years and 9 months old.Doctor's answer:
Mom, if the baby has already used two courses of azithromycin and is still coughing, the fusion results suggest a possible bacterial infection, but the mycoplasma titer is not very high, so it may not be a mycoplasma infection. It is recommended to communicate with the doctor in a timely manner and, if necessary, receive antibiotic treatment with penicillin or cephalosporin for infection control.The above advice is for the question "My baby has been coughing for a week and has taken two courses of azithromycin without improvement. What should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you health and happiness every day!
