Patient's question:
I have been feeling unwell recently, experiencing tremors, dry cough, and sneezing. Later, I also developed a fever. After checking at the hospital, it was found to be caused by Mycoplasma infection. I have been taking care of my child, afraid of infecting them. I would like to ask what are the symptoms of Mycoplasma infection in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to temporarily avoid breastfeeding your child if you discover you have mycoplasma infection. Wait until your condition stabilizes before resuming breastfeeding. Children with mycoplasma infection may experience symptoms such as fever, poor appetite, cough, headache, and sore throat. Mycoplasma infection typically has a gradual onset, with most cases showing a body temperature above 39°C and often accompanied by coughing. Initially, it may be a dry cough, but later it may develop into a productive cough. It is advisable to visit a hospital for examination.
