The symptoms of mycoplasma infection in children primarily include respiratory infections, with common symptoms being cough and fever. Additionally, mycoplasma can cause wheezing and shortness of breath. Generally, mycoplasma can lead to pharyngitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia. In cases of pneumonia caused by mycoplasma, it can affect the bronchial mucosa and the pulmonary interstitial. It can also cause pulmonary consolidation. The main treatment for mycoplasma pneumonia is the use of macrolide antibiotics to treat the infection, followed by symptomatic treatment, expectorants, and cough suppressants.
