Dr. Guo Xiheng
The treatment for pediatric mycoplasma pneumonia with cold-like symptoms involves first using antibiotic medications to combat bacterial infection and reduce inflammation, such as moxifloxacin or clindamycin. Then, specific symptomatic treatments are administered based on the child's particular cold symptoms. For persistent cough, cough suppressants like Feili Ke mixture or Xiao'er Feike granules can be used to relieve symptoms. In severe cases, nebulization therapy may be adopted to alleviate symptoms.
