How long does it take for mycoplasma bronchitis to heal?

The general treatment time for mycoplasma bronchitis is 1 to 2 weeks. Most children with mycoplasma pneumonia have a slow onset and a persistent cough, usually lasting one to two weeks, accompanied by sputum. There is fever, but it is generally low to moderate, and high fever is rare. The white blood cell count is generally normal, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is often increased, and the Coombs test is positive.

Mycoplasma bronchitis has obvious symptoms but mild signs. There are no special manifestations when auscultating the lungs, but a chest X-ray may show flake-like shadows in both lung lobes. Penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics commonly used in treatment are ineffective, but azithromycin is particularly effective. But the course of treatment is long, more than 10 days. Generally, the injection is given for 5 days, followed by a 3-day break, and then another 5 days of injection. This is to reduce the gastrointestinal reaction of azithromycin. Parents are reminded that they should not stop treatment midway just because the cough has eased or the body temperature has returned to normal, so as to avoid recurrence.
