What are the symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia
Symptoms of the respiratory system:
1 Fever: Most children have fever symptoms, and the heat types are different. Most of them are around 39℃, the heat range is about 1 to 3 weeks, or even longer, and a few children have a low fever state.
cough: can experience persistent dry cough in the early stage, and the coughing time can last for several weeks. In the later stage, white phlegm, yellow phlegm, etc. will appear. When the cough is severe, blood will be found in the phlegm. Older children can complain of symptoms such as sore throat, chest tightness, chest pain, chest pain, and other symptoms.

However, Mycoplasma pneumoniae is also divided into many categories, and after recovery, the antibodies will gradually disappear. It is not that you can get one lifelong immunity. A small number of babies with severe/refractory Mycoplasma pneumonia may have residual lung structural or functional impairment and require long-term follow-up.
