Patient's question:
A woman has been coughing for 20 days since she got pregnant, and nine days after giving birth, she went to the hospital for a thorough examination of mycoplasma pneumonia. She took moxifloxacin for three days. The cough started from her throat, and when she coughed, there was phlegm in her chest and trachea. In the morning, the cough had a rust-like taste, and the coughing was worse at night. There wasn't much phlegm, but after taking the medicine, it was easier to cough it out. Has it gotten better than before?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, the weakness you are experiencing may be likely caused by mycoplasma infection. From the symptoms you described, your condition should be improving compared to before. It is recommended that you focus on medication and rest to aid recovery. Mycoplasma infection requires a longer treatment duration compared to normal treatment, so patience is necessary. During this period, pregnant women should increase their fluid intake to ensure sufficient metabolic processes in the body, which can also help in thinning and dissolving mucus.
