Brief Answer:
No!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

It is no a wise decision to do so. The best thing to do is to take antibiotics that act against anaerobic germs such as azithromycin. Sports canned oxygen will not make a difference in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
