How to treat mycoplasma infection in children?

Generally, mycoplasma infection in children is mostly transmitted from the mother. This type of disease needs to be controlled and treated as early as possible. Generally, children can be treated with drugs such as azithromycin and clarithromycin for mycoplasma infection, or with corticosteroids, etc., and they should also eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

It can be taken orally once a day for mild cases and intravenously for severe cases. The course of treatment is generally recommended to be no less than 2 to 3 weeks. Stopping the drug too early is prone to relapse. It is recommended to use azithromycin intravenously for 5 to 7 days first, and then switch to oral consolidation treatment for another week.

Drink mung bean water during the day (add half a pound of mung beans and enough water for one day, boil for another 5 minutes after boiling, turn off the heat and drink. After the water is finished, the remaining mung beans can be used to cook porridge. Do this every day for a month, and the child's liver fire will be reduced.
