Nguyen Thi Huong, (58 years old, Dong Anh, Hanoi) has Covid-19. Because of post-Covid-19 anxiety, who has told me to buy something these days, Mrs. Huong bought it to nourish. She and her husband bought 3 bottles of Australia’s lung tonic. If before, Australia’s Healthy Care Lung Detox bottle cost about 300 thousand VND, it is now sold out and anyone who has stock will sell it for double the price.

However, Ms. Huong said that protecting her health should not be delayed for fear that after Covid-19, her lungs would be damaged. In addition to taking a lung tonic, Huong and her husband also take a syrup from Vietnam every day in the hope of “comprehensive protection”.

Ms. Ha Thi Nga, (Gia Lam, Hanoi) said that she sells portable functional foods. In the past few days, the supplement products are all sold out, some products are out of stock for a whole week, but every day there are dozens of customers asking.

Currently, lung tonic products from Japan, Russia, Australia or the US are all in short supply, but there are not many new products to import, but the price is different every day – Ms. Nga said.

On social networks, lung tonic products for F0, post-F0 are advertised a lot and the selling price is also different from domestic to foreign products with prices ranging from 50,000 VND to millions of VND.

Lung tonic products are offered for sale for F0 and post-F0.

Many products increase in price from 1.5 to 2 times. For example, a bottle of Nuskin CordyMax previously sold for about 600-700 thousand VND, but now it’s sold out, many sellers are selling it for millions of VND per bottle, but there are no goods to sell to customers.

Not only foreign lung tonic products, Vietnamese lung tonics have also become scarcer. Mr. Nguyen Van Hai (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi) lamented that he went to 3-4 pharmacies and couldn’t buy cough medicine and tonic bottles. Even the salesman said that the price of several tens of thousands of scraps or the word radial was out of stock, he could buy other types of imported goods but the price was expensive because the import hub had increased in price from 2-3 weeks ago. Because he needed a vial of tonic, Mr. Hai pressed his stomach to buy a bottle of tonic syrup for 380 thousand VND.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Hang, who lives in the Western part of Australia in recent days, relatives and friends have constantly texted asking about lung tonics for F0 and post-F0. Ms. Hang said that the lung tonic product has many functions to purify the lungs and reduce cough, but buyers are very careful. Even the Healthy Care Lung Detox product, Ms. Hang said that the manufacturer has stopped production, so there is definitely no genuine product, buyers beware of buying fake goods.

Talking about the use of lung supplements when suffering from Covid-19 and after contracting Covid-19, Dr. Truong Huu Khanh – Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City Infectious Association consider it unnecessary. Until now, patients with Delta strain can have lung effects, but they are in the group of subjects such as hospitalized, with oxygen support interventions.

The rest, people with mild disease, few symptoms are not worried. Especially for the strain of Omicron virus that only penetrates the upper respiratory tract, it does not have much impact on the lower respiratory tract, which is the bronchi or lungs, so the post-Covid-19 impact on the lungs is greatly reduced. If after Covid-19 you find yourself coughing and having difficulty breathing, breathing exercises or gentle exercise will reduce a lot and gradually recover.

Dr. Nguyen Trong Hung – National Institute of Nutrition that Covid-19 patients only need to eat nutritious food to meet their health needs.

Moreover, increasing the use of spices such as garlic, turmeric, and ginger is good for the lungs. Garlic contains an active substance called allicin. This substance fights infections and reduces inflammation in the lungs. Garlic also has antioxidant properties and helps to remove free radicals from the entire body because of its high amount of selenium.

Patients can drink more ginger tea or cook for ginger because ginger has an anti-inflammatory function that will clean the remaining pollutants in the lungs – the cause of health problems.

Turmeric helps reduce pneumonia because it has very good anti-inflammatory properties. Foods such as green vegetables have a lung-tonic effect such as collard greens, spinach, kale, cabbage… In particular, cabbage has the effect of clearing heat, detoxifying and reducing cough, very suitable for people. pneumonia disease.

People who are sick with Covid-19 or have recovered from Covid-19 should not be too worried to buy functional foods that are not clear how effective they are?
