Pediatric mycoplasma pneumonia typically presents with symptoms such as inflammation and fever. On physical examination, lung rales are significantly diminished or completely absent. Mycoplasma pneumonia is a common type of pneumonia primarily caused by infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Therefore, appropriate antimicrobial agents should be administered early to shorten the duration of illness and alleviate clinical symptoms. Additionally, patients should get plenty of rest and develop good lifestyle habits.
