Question

Is it necessary to treat a baby with mycoplasma positivity for 3-4 weeks?

Answer

Hello, if your child has been diagnosed with mycoplasma infection, the usual treatment duration is 2-3 weeks, primarily using macrolide antibiotics like erythromycin or azithromycin. The regimen typically involves taking the medication for 5 days, then stopping for 4 days, and then continuing for another 5 days. During the treatment, remember to drink plenty of water to help the body expel toxins.
