Patient's question:
Doctor, my husband recently got pneumonia and was thoroughly examined at the hospital, which was diagnosed as Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. I would like to consult you about a few things: Can adult Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia be cured? How long does it take to relieve the symptoms? What are the estimated costs? What should be noted in daily life? Can this disease be contagious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, Mycoplasma infection in adults is often caused by cold, stomach problems, or excessive mental stress leading to weakened immunity. It is an air-borne or droplet-transmitted respiratory infectious disease. Generally, it requires imaging tests and laboratory examinations for a definitive diagnosis. Mycoplasma infection typically requires the use of macrolide-class drugs, such as azithromycin, etc.
