Question
The child has a cold with cough and phlegm. After hospital tests, it is confirmed to be a mycoplasma infection. How should it be treated?
Answer
It is recommended to take oral azithromycin dispersible tablets and lozenges for cough, along with vitamin C tablets. At the same time, it is important to drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, and avoid staying up late and overexertion. For pediatric respiratory system issues caused by mycoplasma infection, parents should cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and avoid picky eating.
