Having been “spoiled” by a bunch of Russian and Chinese drugs, don’t be “haunted” a second time after Covid-19

Dr. Thao, Head of Intensive Care Unit, Vinh Phuc Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, He said that he himself has many acquaintances who are worried about post-Covid-19 infection. A friend sent me a CT scan of a patient who went to a post-Covid-19 check-up. X-ray was normal but CT scan showed lesions. Interestingly, the patient had no symptoms.

The doctor who only knew how to “laugh” during the Covid-19 epidemic ran out of lung tonics and invited each other to go for a CT scan. The problem here is that when you recover from Covid-19, you need to have that test if lung damage (if any) doesn’t change the course of treatment, it just costs money and adds anxiety.

According to doctors, the post-Covid-19 syndrome is real and there are many organs in the body that can be damaged after Covid-19 infection. But it is not something that is too scary that everyone is looking for as the current information.

Dr. Thao believes that you should only go to a doctor when you have recovered from Covid-19 and have prolonged symptoms that are troubling your health and psychology such as insomnia, anxiety, prolonged headache, prolonged cough. , commuting or working quickly tired, digestive disorders….

People shouldn’t worry too much about what hasn’t happened yet. Be alert when receiving health information. Because in fact, many people are “fake” when infected with Covid-19 with a bunch of expensive Russian and Japanese drugs, now it’s okay to recover from Covid-19 if it’s “mistaken” a second time, it’s your fault.

Dr. Thao examines a pediatric patient.

When participating in the treatment of Covid-19 on zalo, a few thousand people mostly recovered very easily without spending any money with criteria 3 no: No antiviral, no Russian medicine, no traditional medicine to nourish the lungs. Dr. Thao said that people should not be too worried about losing money and carrying disabilities.

Dr. Truong Huu Khanh – Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City Infectious Association said: Studies show that Omicron, unlike previous strains, only attacks the upper respiratory tract, not the lower respiratory tract.

Therefore, with the current post-Covid-19 situation, Dr. Khanh thinks the culprit is too worried. For example, if you are stressed, all symptoms related to respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive… For example, fast heart rate, heavy breathing, acid reflux, stomach pain… and if you have just had Covid-19 I think I have post-Covid-19 infection.

Instead of worrying, Dr. Khanh offers two ways for people to overcome post-Covid-19: First, practice breathing to reduce stress. Second, don’t read random information, ask a lot and then be “stunned” after Covid-19.

Post-Covid-19 in the Delta strain was previously present, but it is still mainly due to psychological factors, and usually does not need “cure” but just practice. As for the cases of patients who need to deal with sequelae and need rehabilitation, are those who are seriously ill in the early stages of vaccine coverage, who have to stay in intensive care for a long time.

Many young children and parents are also too worried to take their children for post-Covid-19 screening and lung CT scan to see if the lungs are affected. Meanwhile, children are similar not all children need to be examined after Covid-19.

Dr. Du Tan Quy, Head of Infection Department, Children’s Hospital 1 said that after recovering from Covid-19, most people with Covid-19 make a full recovery, and a small number may have lingering Covid-19 symptoms such as fatigue, aches, shortness of breath, chest tightness. , urticaria on exertion, decreased concentration, dizziness, headache, sleep disturbance, peripheral nervous system symptoms, dizziness, abnormality of movement, decreased vision, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal disturbances, sadness vomiting, loss of appetite, tinnitus, sore throat, stuffy nose, anxiety disorder, depression.

Children can develop multi-system inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) with symptoms of fever, evidence of inflammation, and involvement of at least two organs about 2-6 weeks after the acute episode of Covid-19. It should be noted that this form of disease has a high morbidity and mortality rate.

But it is not necessary for all children to go to a post-Covid-19 check-up. It is only necessary to have a post-Covid-19 examination when a child has abnormal symptoms of the post-Covid-19 syndrome when having the above symptoms and it prolongs the impact on the child’s life and study.
