Diagnosis and Treatment of Mycoplasma Infection and Asthma in Children

An 8-year-old boy experienced a rash and high fever in early August. On the 20th, he started coughing and having asthma attacks, making it difficult to eat or take medication due to severe coughing. After a chest X-ray and blood test, his white blood cell count was 12,500 and neutrophils were elevated, with a lung capacity test of 14%. The doctor diagnosed him with mycoplasma infection and asthma. Allergy tests showed sensitivity to dust mites. After 5 days of ceftriaxone and azithromycin treatment, his white blood cell count remained around 11,000.

Does a Child with Mycoplasma Infection Need Medication Treatment?

The child has mycoplasma infection and is undergoing intravenous drip treatment with rifampicin (300,000 units per bottle) 1.5 bottles. Consulted two doctors, one suggesting simultaneous oral azithromycin, the other believing no oral medication is needed. As a parent, I am unsure what to do. Please ask if oral medication is needed, when should it be taken? What should be the interval between the intravenous drip and the medication? Do I need to continue treatment for half a month? Thank you.
