Introduction
Under normal circumstances, mycoplasma refers to mycoplasma infection. Mycoplasma infection may present symptoms such as high fever, cough, headache, difficulty breathing, and urethritis. If symptoms of mycoplasma infection occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and undergo targeted treatment under a doctor's guidance. In daily life, patients with mycoplasma infection are advised to rest more and avoid excessive physical activity to aid in recovery.
Generally, mycoplasma is a type of prokaryotic microorganism lacking a cell wall and exhibiting variable shapes. Mycoplasma infection may cause symptoms such as high fever, cough, headache, difficulty breathing, and urethritis. If symptoms of mycoplasma infection occur, timely medical consultation is recommended for targeted treatment under a doctor's guidance. Detailed analysis is as follows:
1. High Fever
During mycoplasma infection, body temperature often rises sharply within a short time, reaching up to 39°C or higher, and may last for 3 to 5 days.
2. Cough
After mycoplasma infection, patients may develop a dry, irritating cough or a productive cough with minimal sputum, sometimes accompanied by blood streaks in the sputum. The cough tends to worsen gradually, predominantly at night.
3. Headache
In usual cases, patients with mycoplasma infection may experience symptoms such as a feeling of pressure or stabbing pain in the head, sometimes accompanied by dizziness or vertigo.
4. Difficulty Breathing
After mycoplasma infection, the pathogen may multiply extensively in the respiratory tract, easily leading to increased local secretions, airway obstruction, and resulting in difficulty breathing.
5. Urethritis
Urethritis mainly refers to infections of the urethra caused by various pathogens. Usually after mycoplasma infection, due to the inflammatory response, urethritis may develop, causing urinary tract irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination.
In daily life, it is recommended that patients with mycoplasma infection rest adequately and avoid excessive physical activity to aid in recovery.
