Suggest Treatment For Mycoplasma Pneumonia
I have been diagnosed with mycoplasma pneumonia and just started a second kind of antibiotics. Why don't I feel any different? My coughing is horrible and causes pain in chest and back. I am going into my third week of it. Also nothing comes up when I cough but yucky stuff comes out through nose- is that normal?

Mycoplasma pneumonia is treated by antibiotics that work against Mycoplasma include macrolides, fluroquinolones, and tetracyclines.
Control your fever with aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen), or acetaminophen. DO NOT give aspirin to children.
Drink plenty of fluids to help loosen secretions and bring up phlegm.
Get a lot of rest.
