A pregnant woman has been coughing for 20 days since she became pregnant. What should she do?

Patient's question:

The mother has been coughing for 20 days since she got pregnant, and now she is nine days postpartum. She went to the hospital for a thorough check-up on mycoplasma pneumonia. After taking moxifloxacin for three days, she coughs from her throat, and when she coughs, there is phlegm in her chest and trachea. In the morning, the cough has a rust-like taste, and the coughing is less during the day but more severe at night. The phlegm is not much, and after taking the medicine, it is easier to cough it out. Is this better than before?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, it is likely that your condition is weakly considered to be caused by Mycoplasma infection. From the symptoms you described, your condition should be better than before. It is recommended that you focus on medication and care. Mycoplasma infection requires a longer course of treatment compared to ordinary treatment, so you need to be patient with the treatment. During pregnancy, it is essential to increase fluid intake to ensure sufficient metabolic breakdown in the body, and this can also help to enhance the dissolution of mucus.
