Patient's question:
My daughter was previously very unwell and was taken to the hospital for a thorough examination, where it was discovered that she had Mycoplasma bronchitis. She took a lot of medicine, but it didn't get better. Now, I'm asking how to treat Mycoplasma bronchitis?Doctor's answer:
Upper respiratory tract infection in children is an inflammation of the upper respiratory tract caused by various pathogens, with viral infections being the most common. It is the most common disease among children. Children with respiratory infections caused by mycoplasma have a longer course of illness compared to other conditions and are also directly related to a weakened immune system. However, if symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and fever are severe, intravenous drip administration of macrolide antibiotics can be used. The medication should be taken consistently for 7 to 10 days, after which it should be discontinued. A recheck should be scheduled one week later to reassess and adjust the treatment plan. Maintain a positive mindset and consume more fruits and vegetables. Additionally, if clinical diagnosis reveals recurrent low-grade fever that does not subside, severe cough, or abnormalities in hearing or mental state, it is important to seek follow-up medical attention promptly.
