Increased Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets. Dong Xiaoyan said that in daily prevention, the first thing is to ventilate more and gather less. It is best to open windows for ventilation 2-3 times a day at home, each time for 15 to 20 minutes. In the near future, avoid taking children to crowded and poorly ventilated public places; Secondly, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene habits, such as washing hands and rinsing mouth frequently; Finally, it is necessary to engage in moderate physical exercise, maintain sufficient sleep, have a reasonable diet, and comprehensively improve children's immunity and resistance.

Lu Yanming reminds that adults who spend a long time with children infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae still have a high risk of being infected. Parents should also take personal protective measures when caring for their children. If adults experience fever, severe coughing, or even lung symptoms, they should promptly seek medical attention from an adult respiratory or internal medicine department for relevant testing.
