Patient's question:
Chest X-ray revealed Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. I was hospitalized for 8 days. During my hospital stay, I had high fever of 39.2°C, occasional snoring sounds in my throat, and rarely coughed. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday at noon. In the morning, there was slightly more phlegm in my throat accompanied by coughing, which is worse today.Previous treatment and effectiveness: During the hospital stay, I received intravenous fluids, mainly azithromycin, while also taking a quadruple combination and E orally. After discharge, I was prescribed oral azithromycin suspension.
What kind of assistance do you need: Is this normal? When will I fully recover? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
General Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is primarily treated with azithromycin. Most cases require two courses of treatment, which last about half a month, but there is a break from medication for a few days in between. It will gradually improve.Recommendation: I suggest you don’t hurry and allow the child to take azithromycin for an additional four days. Continue using E as well. Generally, it will gradually heal completely.
