According to doctors, the abuse of post-Covid-19 examination, lung imaging is not good, only on a case-by-case basis is it necessary to have a CT scan of the lungs…

Holding a CT scan with very nice results, Ms. Huong (Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi) was overjoyed because she had Covid-19 but had no lung damage. Huong said that after being infected with Covid-19, she coughed for 2 weeks and everyone said this cough was definitely affected.

Ms. Huong has a health insurance package affiliated with hospitals, so she goes for a health check-up. If she has an illness, the insurance will cover it, if she doesn’t, she accepts to lose money.

Ms. Huong signed up for a post-Covid-19 examination package, which lost 5.6 million VND, 10% discount left 5 million. On admission, blood tests and ultrasound from the thyroid gland to the veins were stable. The thing that Huong is most worried about is the fear of lung problems when taking a CT scan.

After having a CT scan with contrast injection for 1.9 million VND, everything was fine, so the mother of two was quite satisfied despite spending a lot of money.

The whole family of Ms. Le Thu Ha (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi) became F0 in turn. Ha’s husband is worried about the impact of Covid-19 so he wants the whole family to go for post-Covid-19 screening. Her husband took her mother and two children to a post-Covid-19 check-up. As a result, a baby’s lungs were damaged.

But the doctor also only recommends going home for the baby to practice breathing and some functional foods, not any medicine. As for Ha’s mother-in-law, she discovered that she had type 2 diabetes, so she thought it might be post-Covid-19.

Post-Covid-19 examination: 'It's important to damage the lungs, no one knows what to treat'?
People go to the doctor after Covid-19.

According to Assoc. Do Van Dung, Dean of the Faculty of Public Health, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ho Chi Minh City, post-Covid-19 yes.

Research from other countries after Covid-19 and the rate of prolonged Covid-19 symptoms is available, but most of them resolve spontaneously after a few months, and people with prolonged Covid-19 are rarer.

When suffering from the post-Covid-19 syndrome for a long time, not everyone is the same, some people have damage to their lungs, some people just have discomfort such as not eating well, feeling tired, feeling lack of energy, some people spontaneously develop underlying disease and only those with lesions that really need specific treatment.

As for the patients themselves after recovering from Covid-19 feel tired, those who are sad and tired, the patients themselves will gradually recover. Only when it affects your life such as not concentrating on work, prolonged insomnia, you can see a doctor.

People after Covid-19 discover underlying diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure…. this is also completely normal because these underlying diseases are already present when you go to the doctor to see a doctor after Covid-19 when you go to the doctor. . These underlying diseases are usually still detected through health screenings.

In the UK, people after Covid-19 are divided into 3 groups when they get sick, most of them are family doctors, then they go to hospital internal medicine doctors, if not, doctors of the interdisciplinary system. Department.

In fact, PGS Dung said that there are many doctors who believe that there is a post-Covid-19 infection, so after every prescription for F0, they tell patients to go for a post-Covid-19 examination, but scientifically that is not true.

Even with young children, studies have shown that only 2% of children have persistent Covid-19 symptoms, this symptom is different from the sequelae of trauma, so the number of children who are actually injured will be extremely small and will gradually recovered.

‘For those who think that after a CT scan has lung damage, it is important to detect what the patient is treated for, but no one knows. Meanwhile, once a CT scan, the risk of radiation contamination from the scan is also very large,’ said Associate Professor Dung.

If you find out you have lung damage, you will only worry more, but you will not be able to cure it. Because, when there is Covid-19 there is a case of severe fibrosis of the lung and it will heal. In case of non-healing, it follows the progression of the body, but there is no special medicine to treat pulmonary fibrosis, lung scarring to dissolve the fibrous mass.

Patients with this phenomenon only have to practice breathing to recover gradually. When you really have difficulty breathing, affecting your work or walking, you need to see a physiotherapist.
