Mycoplasma transmission in children

There are always some infectious diseases in life, and the transmission routes are relatively special, such as mycoplasma infection, which can cause pneumonia, respiratory inflammation, and tracheal inflammation, which can cause children to cough constantly, and even sputum stuck in the throat, which cannot go up or down. It will make people feel particularly painful. There are ways for children to be infected with mycoplasma, and each person receives different treatments.

Family prevention

Children with Mycoplasma pneumonia should be treated early. During the illness, parents should let their children rest more and keep the air in the bedroom fresh. For children with Mycoplasma pneumonia, the best room temperature is 18℃~20℃ and the humidity is maintained at about 60% to prevent respiratory secretions from drying out and becoming difficult to cough out.

You should also pay attention to your child's diet and nutrition, encourage your child to drink plenty of water, prepare some nutritious and easy-to-digest food for your child, and feed him or her small meals frequently. Because Mycoplasma pneumonia is contagious and prone to relapse, treatment must be thorough and isolation is required during the illness.

The prevention of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection mainly relies on strengthening physical fitness. Take your children to participate in more outdoor activities and physical exercises, especially strengthen breathing exercises to improve respiratory function. Teach your children to cover their mouths with a handkerchief or paper when they cough to prevent spitting and to prevent germs from contaminating the air and infecting others. Children who are susceptible to respiratory infections should pay attention to climate changes when going out in cold seasons or when the climate changes suddenly, and add clothes in time to prevent catching a cold.
