Patient's question:
Child with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia discharged for about 5 months. A few days ago, they had a fever, coughed for four days after the fever subsided, and today they have a fever of 38.2. They are receiving intravenous fluids (Azithromycin and asthma relief, pushing to clear the lungs and cool the blood). Could it be that the Mycoplasma infection has flared up?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child has recurrent high fever and cough, which may be caused by the flu or bronchitis. Bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections can all lead to bronchitis. It is recommended to conduct further detailed examinations. Blood tests, mycoplasma culture, and chest X-rays should be performed to identify the cause. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, focus on intravenous fluid treatment while taking medications such as Lungenkolk to clear heat and detoxify the lungs. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, temporary use of ibuprofen for fever reduction is advised.
