Question
A 175 cm, 130 lbs male patient still has a cough after treatment for mycoplasma pneumonia, asking how to confirm complete recovery and whether further treatment is needed.
Answer
The patient has had mycoplasma pneumonia and has been treated with azithromycin, but still experiences a slight cough. It is recommended that the patient undergo a chest X-ray and have a detailed examination at the hospital after complete recovery. Typically, the recovery time for mycoplasma pneumonia is between 4 to 6 weeks, and the chest X-ray results should show clear lungs without any cloudiness or uniform shadows.
