Dr. Xie Zixing
It is recommended that patients receive timely treatment to avoid delaying their condition. For pediatric mycoplasma pneumonia, treatment should be symptom-targeted only after a clear diagnosis has been established, with macrolide antibiotics being the first-line therapy due to their relatively high sensitivity. Throughout the entire treatment process, close monitoring of disease progression is essential. Multiple treatment approaches may be required depending on the individual circumstances.
