Rising Pollution in Delhi

Nov 20, 2024

Dr. Avi Kumar, Senior Consultant, Pulmonology at Fortis Escorts, Okhla Road, New Delhi says, "In our OPD patients, we are seeing the symptoms of breathlessness, wheezing, cough, throat irritation, nose block, running nose and itching in the eyes. These symptoms are on the rise. In the patients who are coming to us in emergency, we are seeing a lot of pneumonia cases. They have no history of smoking or immune-compromised status. So, it's quite surprising. I advise most of our patients to stay home. Whenever it's sunny outside, only then go outside."
