Treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children

In today's seriously polluted society, many people suffer from pneumonia. Among children, the incidence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is also increasing, which has to attract widespread attention. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children poses a threat to human health all year round, especially in autumn, when the incidence is very high. So, is there any good treatment for this disease?

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children is manifested by persistent and severe coughing, which can be diagnosed as an epidemic disease. It should be treated early, otherwise it will seriously threaten the child's health and cause the child to be in pain. In addition, we must also strengthen prevention in life.

The following are treatments for Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children

(1) Respiratory tract isolation: Mycoplasma infection can cause small epidemics, and the time for children to excrete mycoplasma after becoming ill is long, up to 1 to 2 months. Infants only show symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection. Pneumonia occurs only after repeated infection. At the same time, it is easy to be infected with other viruses during the MP infection period, which may lead to worsening of the disease and prolonged illness. Therefore, respiratory isolation should be achieved as much as possible for children with the disease or children with a history of close contact to prevent reinfection and cross-infection.

(2) Nursing: Pay attention to rest, nursing and diet. If necessary, you can take a small amount of antipyretic drugs and Chinese medicine. Keep the indoor air fresh, keep the room temperature at 18-20℃, and the relative humidity at 60%, and provide easily digestible, nutritious food and sufficient fluids. Maintain oral hygiene and clear respiratory tract, frequently turn the child over, pat the back, and change body position to promote the discharge of secretions. If necessary, suction the sputum appropriately to eliminate viscous secretions.

I hope the above treatment methods will be helpful to you. Pneumonia and bronchitis infections in children cannot be ignored. In life, stay away from crowded public places, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, strengthen your physical fitness, and stay away from diseases completely. Children are the hope of the family, and their health is what everyone cares about. Finally, I wish the patients a speedy recovery.
