    Recently, in clinical practice, young parents often see young parents holding small children and bringing older children to the outpatient clinic to see "cough", complaining that the child keeps coughing and fever, and sometimes the cough is a continuous cough.
    Listening very badly.

    What makes the brains more painful is that the small child has not healed yet, and the older child has "non-stop" coughing and getting sick.
    The point is that taking "cold medicine" and "antibiotics" at the village health station has no effect.
    Moms and dads are really good.
    Too busy.

    How to use mycoplasma pneumonia in children? The child had an obvious dry cough, with a body temperature of 38°C, but the lung signs were mostly not obvious (features of mycoplasma infection: inconsistent symptoms and signs).

    Combined with related examinations, C-reactive protein (indicator of inflammation) increased, and antibodies to mycoplasma increased.

    The diagnosis was: Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.

    Clinically, the most commonly used drug for Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is Azithromycin, and the commonly used broad-spectrum antibiotics may not be effective.

    Azithromycin is a common macrolide drug that can be used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, among which Mycoplasma lung infection is the most common, so it is also known as the "killer" of Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

    ▎Why do azithromycin use three stops and four stops? According to the instructions, people of different ages are taken in different doses.

    It is generally taken in accordance with "three stop four".

    Many family members of patients do not understand, what is "three stop four"? That is, use the medicine for three days and stop the medicine for four days.
    This is a cycle.

    This is because the efficacy of Azithromycin lasts for a long time, so there is no need to take the medicine continuously every day for a long time.

    ▎What should I do if I have diarrhea after taking Azithromycin? Taking azithromycin may cause upset stomach, diarrhea/loose stool, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain.

    Taking it with meals can reduce gastrointestinal symptoms.

    If these effects persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.

    ▎When will the drug be stopped? Is the drug stopped immediately after the symptoms disappear? No, even if the symptoms disappear after a few days, continue to take this medication until the full prescription is completed.

    Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow and cause the infection to recur.

     Although azithromycin is a "magic medicine", it should be used with caution.
