Question
The 10-month-old baby has mycoplasma and has been taking Azithromycin for three days before starting to take Roxithromycin. The fever has subsided, but the cheeks are flushed. What’s going on? The girl baby has been sick for five days. She just stopped having a fever today and doesn’t want to take Azithromycin anymore. Is it okay to take Roxithromycin and Pulmo-Cough?
Answer
A 10-month-old child with mycoplasma infection typically has a longer course of illness. For mycoplasma infections, the best approach is to use medication under a doctor’s guidance to stabilize the child’s condition. It is generally not recommended for a 10-month-old child to receive intravenous drips, so it is suggested to try oral medication first, as the recovery may be slower with this method. The duration of the illness usually ranges from 15 days. Therefore, it is recommended to continue with intravenous or oral treatment.
