Dr. Xie Zixing
Pediatric mycoplasma pneumonia can be treated with macrolide antibiotics, such as azithromycin, erythromycin, and roxithromycin. Intravenous infusion may be required in severe cases. Pediatric mycoplasma pneumonia is usually associated with environmental factors and decreased immune function, and commonly causes symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing, and fever.
