Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. I'd like to ask if Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes fever?Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, there are many potential causes of fever, such as viruses, mycoplasma, bacteria, etc. Mycoplasma pneumonia can cause fever. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for a complete blood count and mycoplasma antigen test to identify the pathogen and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to drinking more water and eating a light diet. If the fever is below 38.5°C, you can take appropriate fever-reducing medication. If the fever remains above 38.5°C, you can take a warm bath for physical cooling.
