Patient's question:
I have been coughing severely recently. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Currently, I haven't had a fever again. I want to ask if Mycoplasma pneumoniae is effectively treated with cephalosporins? The doctor here told me to get an intravenous drip at the hospital and said it would basically be cured within a week. I want to ask if it's really true.Doctor's answer:
For this disease, it is first important to pay attention to rest and maintain hygiene in daily life. The main treatment principle is to apply local antibiotic ointments, such as mupirocin ointment or erythromycin ointment. Fish oil ointment can also be used for treatment. Regular physical exercise can help boost immunity, and during acute phases, local incision and drainage can be performed to drain pus. It is also recommended to take Tinidazole tablets and Amoxicillin/Clavulanate Potassium capsules concurrently.
