Pneumonia caused by mycoplasma infection, early detection and early detection is very important to prevent severe disease. If you have a fever and cough for more than three days and are not sensitive to cephalosporins or penicillins, you need to be alert to the possibility of mycoplasma pneumonia, especially for preschool and school-age children, who are at a high age for mycoplasma pneumonia, and chest imaging is generally recommended. Mycoplasma antibody tests are often not as early as positive, and early detection of laboratory tests relies on nucleic acid testing, and there is still the possibility of false negatives.
Mycoplasma infection also needs to be distinguished from influenza, most of which have a clear history of influenza exposure, generally due to obvious systemic symptoms such as fever and fatigue, and more cough during the convalescent period. Pneumonia caused by mycoplasma infection, if not effective**, tends to have persistent fever, worsening cough, or persistent unrelieved. If there is a reality change in the lungs, the cough may lessen, but the fever is still present. Therefore, the improvement of body temperature is the manifestation of disease improvement, and it is not just about cough symptoms. If it is effective, the body temperature is generally normal first, and then the cough is reduced; Even if the cough worsens, it is often a sign of recovery.
Therefore, the child's fever and cough, in the process of medication, it is necessary to closely observe the changes in the condition, and the abnormalities in the disease process, that is, the phenomenon that does not conform to the original diagnosis of the development of the disease, need to be carefully analyzed, so as to achieve early detection, early medication, and early treatment.
