Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Yanmei
The recovery period for pediatric mycoplasma pneumonia is generally 2–3 weeks, though the duration may vary depending on the individual child's constitution and the medications used. If coughing and sputum production are not severe and the child's mental state is good, treatment with medication typically takes about 10 to 15 days. Some children may recover after just five days of treatment, while others may take much longer to recover.
