A 6.5-year-old child, who gets sick every month and has had three episodes of asthma pneumonia.

Patient's question:

The last episode of illness started on July 15th, with persistent high fever and cough, during which I was hospitalized at the Guangzhou Overseas Chinese Hospital. Diagnosis: Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia

Doctor's answer:

Possible bronchitis. It is recommended to undergo further chest X-ray or fluoroscopy. Azithromycin or cefaclor capsules can be taken for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous antibiotics may be used. For thick mucus, Mucosolvan or compound licorice oral solution can be taken, along with drinking plenty of warm water. Alternatively, can be combined for treatment.
