As the weather gets warmer, the overall incidence of respiratory diseases in children has dropped significantly compared with a year ago. Zhao Huafeng, director of the First Department of Pediatric Medicine at Weifang People's Hospital, reminded that mycoplasma pneumonia is still an epidemic trend, and it causes bronchitis, lobar pneumonia and even encephalitis in many cases. On March 30, reporters visited major hospitals in our city, and doctors reminded parents to pay close attention.
On the morning of the 30th, Ms. Zhao, who lives in Shijia Mingyuan Community in the High-tech Zone, and her 6-year-old son had just finished nebulization at Weifang People's Hospital. "My son had a severe cough a few days ago, especially at night. He didn't take it seriously at first, but then he suddenly had a high fever and was severely short of breath." Ms. Zhao said that her son was diagnosed with mycoplasma pneumonia and has improved after a period of treatment. Mr. Yu, who lives in Weicheng District, took his 7-year-old daughter to Weicheng Branch of Weifang Maternal and Child Health Hospital for diagnosis and treatment. The child also suffered from mycoplasma pneumonia.

Zhao Huafeng, director of the First Department of Pediatric Medicine at Weifang People's Hospital, told reporters that there are not a few children with respiratory infections recently, and among them, children suffering from mycoplasma pneumonia have also increased.
Yan Yong, director of the Second Department of Pediatrics at Weicheng Campus of Weifang Maternal and Child Health Hospital, also said that there are many children with mycoplasma pneumonia both in the hospital outpatient department and in the wards, accounting for about 10% of outpatients and about 30% of hospitalized children. %about.
Zhao Huafeng reminded that from the current point of view, older children are generally more susceptible to mycoplasma infection, especially those with a long history of repeated fever and cough (more than 5-7 days); some babies also need to be infected if they have repeated coughing and persistent respiratory infection symptoms. Considering the possibility of mycoplasma pneumonia, some specific tests are needed to confirm.
Regarding the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia, macrolide drugs, such as azithromycin and erythromycin , are still the first choice at present. The commonly used cephalosporins and penicillins are ineffective against mycoplasma infection. This is related to the lack of cell wall structure of Mycoplasma pneumoniae. However, according to the detection of drug resistance genes of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in the past year, it has been found that many are also resistant to macrolide drugs. This also explains the questions of many parents: Why have they already used azithromycin or erythromycin? But the treatment effect is not obvious. At this time, drugs such as doxycycline, minocycline, and levofloxacin should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Here, Yanyong also reminded that there is currently no targeted vaccine prevention. Except for children, the elderly have poor body resistance and should pay special attention during this period.
Later, the reporter went to the pediatric departments of Weifang Second People's Hospital, Sunshine Ronghe Hospital and other hospitals and found that many children with mycoplasma pneumonia came here for treatment and treatment.
In this regard, staff from the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention also reminded citizens and parents to avoid going to crowded places during the epidemic season. It is recommended to wear masks scientifically when going to hospitals, taking buses, entering and exiting shopping malls and other public places. When coughing or sneezing, you should cover and avoid people to prevent the spread of droplets. If relevant symptoms occur, you should seek medical treatment promptly and reduce contact with others. Maintain good living habits and improve your own immunity. In life, develop good habits of hygiene, frequent hand washing, and frequent ventilation, regular work and rest to ensure adequate sleep, prevent cold and warmth by adding clothes in time, exercise appropriately to avoid excessive fatigue, and have a balanced diet and nutrition to enhance your own immunity. If symptoms are severe, seek medical attention promptly.
