BY Carol Carey 2020-05-24

  Mycoplasma pneumonia, caused by mycoplasma (MP) infection, showed interstitial pneumonia and bronchiolitis-like changes. The lung lesions were fused bronchopneumonia, interstitial pneumonia, and bronchitis. The clinical manifestation is inflammation of the lungs with intractable and severe coughing.

  Mycoplasma pneumonia infection will have a great impact on the patient’s life, as well as the people around the patient, because this is a spreading disease. In general, the condition of mycoplasma pneumonia infection develops slowly at first, which may be manifested as symptoms of pharyngitis or bronchitis, which can easily cause misdiagnosis.

  When the patient has dizziness, headache, chills, high fever, general weakness, cough, sputum, pharyngitis, etc., it is the symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia infection. Among them, high fever can reach more than 39°C, and the sputum produced by coughing may be thick sputum, sticky sputum or more severe blood sputum. At the time of onset, there may be throat congestion, nasal congestion, runny nose and other phenomena, more severe patients with chest tightness and shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and other symptoms. In addition, some systemic symptoms are muscle soreness, loss of appetite, diarrhea, joint aches, vomiting and nausea.

  It should be noted that the condition of mycoplasma pneumonia infection is generally not too serious, and timely treatment in accordance with the doctor’s instructions generally does not appear life-threatening. However, there are also some special conditions that can aggravate the condition. For example, mycoplasma pneumonia infection is not cured, and other diseases occur. This will greatly increase the number of treatment days and make the treatment process slower.

   Therefore, during the illness, you must follow the doctor’s instructions and take good care of your body to improve the treatment efficiency and strive to restore health as soon as possible.

  However, a very small number of patients will have more and more serious symptoms, such as meningitis, gastroenteritis, otitis, myocarditis, and hepatitis. Therefore, after the diagnosis of the disease, the mycoplasma pneumonia infection should be cured as soon as possible, so as not to take advantage of other symptoms.
