Severe Chest Pain, Fever And Chills. Diagnosed With Mykoplasma Pneumonia. Taking Ery-max Antibiotics. Suggestion?
Last Friday I was diagnosed with mykoplasma pneumonia (both lungs are infected). I have been taking Ery-Max antibiotics 4 times a day since then but still feel the need for pain killers for bad chest/ back pain (when coughing) and headaches . I also still have chills, feel nauseous, and have low fever at times. I have a flight booked for Friday night to spend the weekend with family in Holland. There s a party this coming Saturday night that I ve really been looking forward to. Is it a good idea that I go? I don t want to put myself at risk of my condition taking longer to clear up.

Hello
This mycoplasma pneumonia is the mildest type pneumonia and is called as WALKING PNEUMONIA because you rarely need hospitalisation with this pneumonia.
ERY-MAX is the ideal medicine for this problem.
The problem will go away with treatment however pain chest persists for some time because of coughing.
Since it is spread by droplet infection you must wash your hands regularly and keep some cloth on your mouth when coughing so that it doesn't infect others.
Avoid smoking and take proper nutrition.
There is no harm in going for party.
Carry on with your enjoyment.
Best of luck
