Question
My son has been coughing for over a month. He has no issues sleeping at night and does not have a fever. Initially, he took five days of azithromycin, followed by traditional Chinese medicine. Last week’s examination revealed a mycoplasma infection. After five days of azithromycin, the cough persists. Should I continue with the injections? He has no history of allergies or hereditary diseases. Should I continue with the injections or switch to medication?
Answer
In this case, if the diagnosis is confirmed as a mycoplasma infection, I recommend not using azithromycin anymore, as continued use may lead to many side effects. You can consider using other anti-inflammatory medications for intravenous treatment, which may be more effective than oral medications. This is my suggestion for the question “How to Treat Mycoplasma Infection?” I hope it is helpful to you, and wish you good health!
