What are the sequelae of mycoplasma pneumonia in children?

Generally, possible sequelae of mycoplasma pneumonia in children may include decreased immunity, fatigue, persistent cough, wheezing, and liver dysfunction. If related symptoms occur, timely medical consultation is recommended for targeted treatment under a doctor's guidance. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Decreased Immunity

After infection with mycoplasma pneumonia, children usually experience a decline in immunity, increasing the risk of infections from other pathogens, which may lead to conditions such as pharyngitis and tonsillitis. Parents are advised to ensure children maintain regular作息 and a balanced diet in daily life, which helps enhance immunity.

2. Fatigue

Children may feel fatigued due to physical weakness following mycoplasma pneumonia. Timely nutritional supplementation is recommended. If necessary, under a doctor's guidance, medications such as Bifidobacterium and Bacillus subtilis granules, Clostridium butyricum powder, or Donkey-hide Glue Oral Liquid may be used to supplement nutrients.

3. Persistent Cough

After mycoplasma pneumonia, children may develop persistent coughing when exposed to triggers such as colds or inhalation of irritant gases, which can keep the respiratory tract in a hypersensitive state. Prompt medical attention is advised, and under medical guidance, anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin effervescent tablets, hydrocortisone tablets, or acetaminophen tablets may be used to alleviate bronchial symptoms in children.

4. Wheezing

Due to the relatively narrow airways in children, certain damage may occur under the influence of mycoplasma pneumonia, leading to wheezing. It is recommended to seek timely medical care and follow medical advice to use medications such as budesonide inhalation powder, beclomethasone dipropionate inhalation aerosol, or salmeterol fluticasone propionate inhalation aerosol to alleviate symptoms.

5. Liver Dysfunction

When mycoplasma pneumonia worsens, it may lead to a significant increase in toxins within the child's body, irritating liver cells and causing liver dysfunction. Under a doctor’s guidance, medications such as Liganning granules, Bupleurum Liver-soothing Pills, or Liver-soothing Tablets may be used to improve liver function.

In daily life, it is recommended that children rest more and avoid excessive physical activity to aid recovery.
