How long does it take for children to recover from mycoplasma pneumonia

  How long it takes for children to recover from mycoplasma pneumonia depends mainly on the effectiveness of the patient’s treatment and the severity of the disease.  Children’s immune function is not fully developed and their respiratory tract is prone to infection. If mycoplasma pneumonia in children is mild, it usually takes 2 weeks to recover. In the case of more severe symptoms, the clinical picture is dominated by sore throat and weakness, and the temperature can be as high as 38°C-39°C. Once the high fever does not subside should be promptly hospital consultation, usually using lung X-ray, serology and other examination methods. In treatment, symptomatic treatment such as antipyretic and cough suppressant can be given, and antibiotics are mainly macrolides, and the treatment time can reach about 1 month. In addition, mycoplasma pneumonia is spread by droplets, so it is recommended that children avoid going to intensive situations for a long time and parents should give their children good protection.  In addition, it is usually recommended to give children a more nutritious diet to improve their immunity and to add clothes in time to prevent cold and flu.
