Mycoplasma pneumoniae is making a comeback?

Patient's question:

Invalid, focus on azithromycin for 15 days until he finishes taking it in the third grade. There is some relief, but there will still be slight coughing. What kind of assistance is needed: I don't know how long I have been taking oral medication and intravenous drips, and now I'm coughing again. Is it another outbreak of Mycoplasma pneumoniae?...

Doctor's answer:

The pathological changes of pneumonia are based on interstitial pneumonia, and sometimes secondary bronchial pneumonia, which is called primary atypical pneumonia. It is mainly transmitted through droplets, with an incubation period of 2 to 3 weeks, and the highest incidence rate among adolescents. Clinical symptoms are relatively mild, or even asymptomatic. If symptoms do occur, they are usually general respiratory symptoms such as headache, sore throat, fever, and cough.
Recommendations: Mycoplasma infection can cause small epidemics, so it is important to pay attention to respiratory isolation. Open windows for ventilation in rooms regularly during autumn and winter to maintain fresh indoor air. Drink plenty of warm water, and eat easily digestible, nutrient-rich foods. Engage in more outdoor activities and physical exercise, especially exercises that enhance respiratory function, to stabilize breathing. When going out in cold seasons or during sudden weather changes, dress warmly to avoid catching a cold and developing a fever.
