Patient's question:
Chlamydial pneumonia in children, no fever, but coughing with phlegm. The doctor prescribed azithromycin and lung-cleansing, blood-cooling medicine. It has been taken for 5 days, and the cough has improved significantly, but there is still phlegm. I want to ask if it is necessary to focus on taking azithromycin or if it is necessary to go to the hospital to check for chlamydia?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,According to the symptoms you described, your child likely has a respiratory infection caused by Mycoplasma. Since the treatment course for Mycoplasma infection is approximately 4 weeks, your child should focus on taking medication as prescribed by the attending doctor. Please follow the advice of the primary physician.
The above is the suggestion for the question "Child with Mycoplasma infection without fever." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
