Abstract
With the continuous development of medical technology, combined treatment of Chinese and Western medicine has gradually become a research hotspot. As a common disease in pediatrics, the treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in children is also being explored and improved. This article summarizes the research progress of combined Chinese and Western medicine treatment of MPP in children in recent years, aiming to provide a useful reference for the combined treatment of MPP in children. The article firstly introduces the etiology and pathogenesis of MPP in children, thereafter briefly introduces the Western anti-infective treatment and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment of MPP in children, and lastly introduces the methods of combined treatment of TCM and Western medicine in detail. The article points out that the combination of Chinese and Western medicine can give full play to the overall regulation of Chinese medicine and the precise treatment advantages of Western medicine, improve the therapeutic effect, reduce the use of antibiotics, and lower the recurrence rate of the disease, which is worthy of further research and promotion.
