Question
The child has been infected with mycoplasma and has been treated with azithromycin for 7 days. The coughing at night has disappeared, but during the day, the cough is present but not severe. However, the mycoplasma test result from yesterday still shows above 1:160. Do we need to continue taking cephalosporin antibiotics? How severe are the symptoms? How long will it take to completely recover?
Answer
Mycoplasma infections typically do not respond well to cephalosporin antibiotics, and it is not recommended to use them. The child’s symptoms have clearly improved, so the recovery time should not be too long. Everyone recovers at a different pace, but based on the current situation, the child should recover quickly. This is the suggestion for the question “How Long Does It Typically Take for a Child to Heal from Mycoplasma Infection?” and I hope it can be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
