Is cephalosporin effective for mycoplasma infection?

If it is a simple infection by this type of pathogen, generally, there is no direct effect or efficacy. If it is accompanied by other bacteria or other viral infections, there may be a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect. For simple mycoplasma infections, the choice generally falls on macrolide antibiotics or conducting drug sensitivity tests to select antibiotics to control the infection based on the test results. Mycoplasma infections themselves have a relatively long course, so during treatment, medications should be used according to the treatment course, and it’s advised to drink plenty of water and rest adequately. A re-examination one week after stopping the medication can reveal the extent of recovery from the disease. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor)
