Question
My two-year-old baby has a fever and coughs, with body temperature fluctuating around 38°C. It was found yesterday that the mycoplasma IgM test is positive. Is it contagious?
Answer
Mycoplasma primarily causes respiratory system infections, and it is indeed contagious. Particularly in children with weaker immune systems, macrolide antibiotics are effective against mycoplasma. Taking medications such as erythromycin or azithromycin can be very effective. Lifestyle care: eat a light diet, drink plenty of plain water, and get adequate rest. Wishing for a speedy recovery!
