Mycoplasma pneumonia has been "coming in force" recently, let us understand what Mycoplasma pneumonia is! What is Mycoplasma pneumonia? Mycoplasma pneumonia, also known as Mycoplasma pneumonia, is a lung inflammation caused by infection with Mycoplasma pneumonia. Mycoplasma pneumonia is a pathogenic microorganism with a size between bacteria and viruses, without a cell wall, and has inherent resistance to antimicrobial drugs that act on the cell wall. What are the symptoms of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection? Mycoplasma pneumoniae is mainly transmitted through droplets and direct contact. The incubation period is usually 1-3 weeks. Children over 5 years old are susceptible, and of course children under 5 years old may also get sick. Generally speaking, after being infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, the clinical symptoms of the child are mild, only showing symptoms such as headache, fever, sore throat, cough, etc., or even no symptoms. 10%~40% of infected people will develop pneumonia, with symptoms such as high fever, severe dry cough, and wheezing. What are the peak seasons for Mycoplasma pneumonia? The peak seasons for Mycoplasma pneumonia are different in the north and south. It is mostly prevalent in autumn and winter in the north, and in summer and autumn in the south. Regional periodic epidemics occur every 3-7 years, and the epidemic period can last up to 1 year. How to treat Mycoplasma pneumonia? Mycoplasma pneumonia is a lung inflammation caused by mycoplasma infection. Since mycoplasma pneumoniae has no cell wall, it has natural resistance to antimicrobial drugs that act on the cell wall, such as penicillin, cephalosporins, and carbapenems. Therefore, the types of drugs that can be used for patients who have been diagnosed are mainly macrolides; for those who do not respond to macrolide antibiotics (those who continue to have fever after 72 hours of regular treatment, and whose clinical signs and lung imaging do not improve or further worsen), new tetracycline antibiotics or quinolone antibiotics can be used under the guidance of a doctor. Warm tips: If your child has symptoms such as fever, severe cough, etc., please seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the disease, and the above-mentioned medicines need to be taken under the guidance of a professional doctor! |
