What to do if all mycoplasmas are resistant

Mycoplasma infection can easily lead to repeated attacks. If medication is used repeatedly, it may cause drug resistance. At this time, drug sensitivity tests should be carried out in time to find sensitive drugs for treatment. If all drug resistance occurs, relatively sensitive drugs can be used and then the dosage can be increased for treatment. In daily life, we must avoid the problem of drug resistance. During the treatment process, we must pay attention to the safety and integrity of medication.

Treatment of Mycoplasma Infection Mycoplasma infection is common in adult men and women. Because mycoplasma infection is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, therefore, if the sexual life is unclean, it is easy to be infected with mycoplasma. It is understood that the detection rate of mycoplasma infection is higher among promiscuous people, homosexuals, prostitutes and gonorrhea patients. Mycoplasma can also be transmitted through hands, eyes, towels, clothing, bathtubs, toilets and swimming pools. There are many ways to treat mycoplasma infection. Generally speaking, doctors recommend that patients undergo sensitivity testing before choosing a treatment that suits them. In addition, there are two other treatments for mycoplasma infection:

1. Western medicine. Since mycoplasmas lack cell walls, the medications used are antibiotics that act on the cell walls, such as roxithromycin, minocycline, doxycycline, levofloxacin, etc. Patients should pay attention to their own conditions when taking medication. For example, if they are infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, tetracycline and erythromycin should be used. It is worth mentioning that patients should pay attention to the doctor's instructions when taking medication.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mycoplasma infection can be treated with Chinese medicine, which can eliminate the living environment of the pathogen and prevent recurrence. Commonly used Chinese medicine raw material components include: Bupleurum, Angelica, Atractylodes, Honeysuckle, Forsythia, etc. These medicinal materials can kill various bacteria, viruses, pathogens, and mycoplasmas, achieving therapeutic effects such as pain relief and regulating menstruation.

Combining Chinese and Western medicine has good therapeutic effects:

Correct selection of antibiotics is the key to the success of treating mycoplasma pneumonia. Because mycoplasma hides inside cells, and the concentrations of penicillins and cephalosporins in cells are very low, and these two antibiotics kill bacteria by destroying the cell walls of bacteria, but mycoplasma does not have cell walls, the above two antibiotics are "powerless". Clinical applications have confirmed that erythromycin has a very high concentration in cells and can kill mycoplasmas, but erythromycin has significant side effects and has been replaced in recent years by azithromycin, which has a longer duration of action, only needs to be taken once a day, and has relatively fewer side effects. Generally, the medication needs to be taken for 2 to 3 weeks, otherwise it is easy to relapse.

It is more effective to use traditional Chinese medicine while taking antibiotics, because traditional Chinese medicine treats mycoplasma infection not only targets mycoplasma, but also mobilizes the body's immune function, promotes expectoration, and enhances respiratory function. Commonly used drugs include roasted ephedra, apricot kernel, gypsum, scutellaria, belamcanda, cicada shell, bombyx batryticatus, peucedanum peucedanum, and adenophora.

Home care prevention is important:

Parents should let their children get more rest, keep the bedroom with fresh air, keep the room temperature at 18-20℃, and the humidity at around 60% to prevent the respiratory mucus from becoming dry and difficult to cough out.

Eat small meals frequently, eat nutritious and easily digestible foods, and drink plenty of water.

Children should be isolated during the illness to prevent infection from spreading to others.

Parents should take their children to green spaces and other natural environments more often.

Appropriately increase the intake of foods rich in vitamin C and zinc.

Parents should pay attention to weather changes and add or remove clothes for their babies in time.

Children's toys should be disinfected regularly.

Teach your children to cover their mouths with a handkerchief or napkin when they cough to minimize the spraying of droplets around.

If a sick child is found in a childcare institution, he or she must be isolated immediately to prevent the disease from spreading to other babies.
