For pediatric mycoplasma pneumonia, azithromycin is typically administered for about five days. However, the duration may be extended depending on the patient's symptoms and laboratory results. Azithromycin can usually control Mycoplasma pneumoniae within five days, after which the condition gradually improves and the dosage may be appropriately reduced. In daily life, it is important to get adequate rest and avoid staying up late.
