During this time, I heard many parents report that many of their children in kindergarten began to cough, but they didn't take it seriously.
Today, I have summarized some key points and coping methods for mycoplasma pneumonia to share with you, and it is recommended to collect them in case you need them.
Mycoplasma pneumonia refers to inflammation of the lungs caused by infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a pathogenic organism between bacteria and viruses.
It is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets and direct contact, and can occur all year round, with a high incidence in autumn and winter in the north and a high incidence in summer and autumn in the south.
It is more common in children 5 years of age and older, but can occur in children under 5 years of age.
The specific manifestations of the different stages of mycoplasma pneumonia are shown in the figure below
The temperature drops during peak periods, and the fever interval is prolonged.
Cough less often and produce less sputum.
The spirit has improved, and the voice has become more powerful.
Appetite increases significantly.
Manifestations of medical examination are:
Pulmonary rales disappear and imaging improves.
The white blood cell count is almost normal, and C-reactive protein is normal.
The blood agglutination test is less than 1:40
You can compare it, if you have it, it means that you are not far from healing.
As a reminder, you may have to cough for a while after mycoplasma pneumonia recovers, and if you are worried that it is not good to take antitussive medicine all the time, you can try almond bellflower soup.
Parents should take precautions against mycoplasma infection in their children
