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. Could you please tell me the symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia in children?Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia is a serious respiratory infection. The common symptoms of pneumonia are coughing and phlegm production, which can also be accompanied by symptoms such as difficulty breathing and high fever. After experiencing Mycoplasma pneumonia, the same symptoms may reappear, primarily characterized by high fever and mild, irritating cough. To confirm the occurrence of Mycoplasma pneumonia, careful examination is necessary. After thorough examination, the diagnosis of pneumonia is confirmed, and if the Mycoplasma test is positive, it indicates that the pneumonia is caused by Mycoplasma infection.
