Mycoplasma infections may be transmitted to children, because its transmission is mainly through the respiratory tract, so when a family member has a mycoplasma infection, the child may be infected because of his or her weaker resistance.
Mycoplasma infection is different from viral and bacterial infections, most of which are characterized by a severe dry cough, especially at night, accompanied by fever and a runny nose.
Children’s resistance is relatively weak, when there are people around the presence of mycoplasma infection, may be through the respiratory tract or droplet infection to the children around, thus inducing a cough fever, and in severe cases may lead to pneumonia.
To avoid mycoplasma infection in children, it is important to isolate them, wear a mask when going out, and not go to high-risk and crowded places. If mycoplasma infection occurs, seek immediate medical attention and medication as prescribed by the doctor.
