Patient's question:
Child Mycoplasma infection, previously had a mild cough;; now has dry retching; nausea and vomiting. Past treatment and effectiveness: Took Azithromycin for four days. What assistance is needed: Doesn't seem to need medication.Doctor's answer:
Pay attention, if the child carefully checks and confirms it is mycoplasma, the current treatment with azithromycin still requires focused attention. Recommendations: Currently, clinical diagnosis suggests that the treatment time with the medication azithromycin can exceed one week, but the child has now again experienced side effects from the medication azithromycin. It is recommended to add medications such as racemic scopolamine during anesthesia to address this. Additionally, if the child has severe diarrhea and vomiting symptoms, it is also recommended to add antiemetic medications such as metoclopramide for treatment. At the same time, it should be noted that the mycoplasma infection in children is generally recommended to be treated only with macrolide medications such as azithromycin.
