On October 30, at the allergy-clinical immunology department, Bach Mai Hospital (Hanoi) has up to 30% of inpatient patients are asthmatic patients. 'The actual number of patients in the last two years is not much, but the number of hospitalizations at the time of the season is still increasing because the cases of severe asthma patients still account for a quite large number' - doctor Lan Phan .

Dr. Nguyen Dat Anh - head of the emergency department, Bach Mai Hospital - said it is regrettable that most of the serious illnesses brought into the emergency room today are not properly and properly recognized from patients. and family. The patient sometimes does not realize the difference in his own body.

Sometimes asthma has exacerbations, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, only short sentences are spoken, and the patient is still at home. Based on the old prescription for self-buying, self-drinking in some cases may be temporary, but many people are due to this " self-appointed " habit that keeps asthma going and going. into resistance. There are many complications that show that asthma attacks have been treated like pneumothorax, severe asthma .

According to Dr. Dinh Thi Kim Lien - Head of Nutrition Department, Bach Mai Hospital, there are many people with bronchial asthma who are quite allergic after eating seafood.Partly due to the allergic nature of asthmatic patients, patients can absorb undigested proteins of that type of seafood, partly because seafood has a fishy smell, making it easier for patients to have asthma. Because the body is susceptible to allergies with strong odors, unpleasant odors.

Therefore, patients need to know how to choose suitable foods to avoid abstinence, to avoid creating acute dyspnea.When probing food, eat small amounts and increase the next time if it is safe.

While preparing food for cleaning, it is necessary to remove the contents of the animal's digestive tract as it may contain other foreign allergens from the food it ingests.

The emergency department has witnessed many asthma deaths that were originally caused by antibiotics and indiscriminate anti-inflammatory drugs. Drugs bought by patients themselves are mostly in the phytochemical group, so it has almost no effect on exacerbations of asthma.

Doctors also warned about the phenomenon that many people still believe in asthma remedies ' very confusing ' like using black cats. This remedy not only does not control the disease but also limits the accessibility of patients to effective medical care in hospitals!

Currently, there are about 5% of the population in Vietnam, about 4 million people, suffer from bronchial asthma. According to a study by Bach Mai Hospital, most patients (70.8%) have a history of food allergy, drug allergy, allergic rhinitis, eczema; 20% of asthmatic patients have a history of asthma in the past or carry a bold impression of family factors when there are grandparents, parents, siblings with asthma.

Doctors also acknowledge that because of the initial manifestations of the disease are sometimes not clear, there are still about one-third of asthma cases detected after three years and up to 55% of asthma patients are not diagnosed in the community .
