Question

The patient is experiencing cough symptoms with white sputum, and has already tried various medications but the symptoms have not shown significant improvement.

Answer

Based on the patient’s age and symptoms, an initial diagnosis is an upper respiratory tract infection, which may be caused by mycoplasma infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital for mycoplasma-related tests and treatment based on the results. In terms of treatment, in addition to treating mycoplasma pneumonia, considering the potential impact of medication on the gastrointestinal tract, it is advisable to use medications that can improve absorption simultaneously. These suggestions are aimed at helping the patient alleviate cough symptoms and wish the patient a speedy recovery.
