Can penicillin be used for bronchopneumonia?

Bronchopneumonia can be treated with penicillin. When administering penicillin for bronchopneumonia, patients should first undergo a complete blood count at the hospital. If bronchopneumonia is confirmed to be caused by bacterial infection, intravenous penicillin may be administered as directed by a physician. However, if the bronchopneumonia is caused by Mycoplasma infection, penicillin is generally not recommended; instead, treatment with macrolide antibiotics is required. During treatment, it is essential to select appropriate medications based on the causative pathogen, and patients should avoid using drugs blindly.
