At present, the number of patients with cold is increasing. Also, if you catch a cold during other times, you get better in two to four days, but this year it takes more than two weeks.
Bharatpur Hospital Medical Department Chief Physician Dr. Prakash Khatiwada says that every three years influenza changes its form and comes back stronger. "It takes more time to recover if you have a cold and cough," he said, "patients come with problems like cough and shortness of breath." He says that this problem will continue for another month. This problem has been seen more and more in the past two months.
Dr. Khatiwada says that there is a rush of such patients even in government hospitals, medical colleges and private hospitals and clinics. He suggested to use a mask, not to go in crowded places .
Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital senior respiratory and chest specialist Prof. Dr. Sheetal Adhikari says that there are more problems in respiratory patients now. He said that the current pollution along with the common cold, apart from the cough and breathing problems at the time, there is a risk of long-term accumulation of feces in the lungs and weakening of the immune system.
'Patients affected by Covid-19 are at greater risk than normal due to pollution and colds,' he said, 'Even those who take regular medicine may need to increase the amount of medicine.'
He emphasized on the need to protect especially children, elderly, heart and kidney patients. Currently, many of the patients who come to the hospital are coughing, have difficulty breathing and some of them have black and dirt in their throats.
Dr. Bhojraj Adhikari, a physician at Pushpanjali Hospital, says that since he sees a lot of patients with diabetes, thyroid, and high blood pressure, now there are more patients with colds and respiratory diseases. 'Every day at least 10 people come to the hospital because of wheezing, wheezing, and colds,' he said. Dr. Adhikari says that there may be another reason.
