Due to air pollution in Delhi, people are facing many diseases. The AQI level has reached a very bad category. In such a situation, patients are reaching hospitals with breathing problems. According to doctors, cases of silent pneumonia are increasing these days.

Dr. Vikas Mittal, pulmonologist at CK Birla Hospital in Delhi, said that these days a large number of patients suffering from respiratory problems like pneumonia are coming to the emergency. In many cases, walking pneumonia or atypical pneumonia is being seen. In such a case, patches of pneumonia are visible in the X-ray, but the patient is not seriously ill. Along with this, cases of silent pneumonia are also increasing, in which the chest infection is so severe that the patient has to be admitted to the ICU.

Dr. Vikas further said that apart from this, many patients are experiencing upper respiratory symptoms such as itching in the eyes, nose and throat even without fever. Although it is not clear whether pollution is the primary cause, it is unusual to see so many pneumonia cases at this time of the year, so we need to investigate whether these cases are coming up due to air quality? Air pollution is often discussed, but its impact on respiratory health, especially the increase in pneumonia cases, should not be ignored.

Healthy people are also getting sick

The doctor further said that even healthy people are falling prey to diseases due to Delhi's toxic air. To avoid this, it is important for everyone including people suffering from chronic heart, kidney or liver problems to take measures. To avoid this, Dr. Vikas said that healthy people should adopt a good lifestyle to avoid these diseases. Along with this, it is important to include antioxidants in your diet in the form of nuts, fruits and vegetables. Along with this, it is also important to keep yourself hydrated.

Take a healthy diet

Dr. Vikas said that if the intake of a healthy diet is insufficient, then supplements can help meet its needs. People who already have any disease should consult their doctor about how to protect themselves. Health measures like awareness and activism can help prevent the risk of infections like pneumonia due to high pollution.
