What to do if a child is positive for Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Some children will test positive for Mycoplasma pneumoniae. I believe parents will not be unfamiliar with this situation. Children testing positive for Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a relatively common symptom in our lives. However, its occurrence will bring a lot of trouble to the child's body and other aspects, so parents should pay more attention to this situation. So what should we do if a child is positive for Mycoplasma pneumoniae?

1. Symptomatic treatment

Antipyretic, oxygen therapy, nebulization, fluid replacement, and sedation.

2. Antibiotic treatment

Macrolides are the first choice. The course of treatment is generally not less than 2 to 3 weeks. Stopping the drug too early is prone to relapse.

(1) Azithromycin is dissolved in 5% glucose solution and administered intravenously.

(2) Erythromycin is dissolved in 5% glucose solution and administered intravenously.

3. Treatment of extrapulmonary complications

Provide symptomatic and supportive treatment.

The above are some treatment methods for children who are positive for Mycoplasma pneumoniae. As we all know, children who are positive for Mycoplasma pneumoniae will cause a lot of trouble to the patient, so if you suffer from this disease, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately. Do not ignore this symptom and delay it for a long time without treatment, which may cause some other diseases.
