Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is a relatively common clinical condition that can cause acute bronchitis and pneumonia. The main symptoms after infection are fever and cough. The cough is generally spasmodic and irritating, and there is usually not much phlegm. Some patients may experience severe coughing, characterized as intense coughing, which can last two to three weeks or even longer. Therefore, mycoplasma infection does cause coughing. Once coughing symptoms occur, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication, such as using sensitive antibiotics for treatment, coupled with cough suppressants to alleviate symptoms, shorten the course of the disease, and relieve pain.
