Caring for your lungs and respiratory screening

Air quality in many Vietnamese cities can at times be worrying. This affects the airways, especially for sensitive people and smokers.

A chest X-ray is a basic step that helps detect certain lung abnormalities. A doctor will order more tests if a deeper evaluation is needed.

Quitting smoking is the best thing you can do for your lungs. Wearing a suitable mask when the air is bad also helps.

A persistent cough or worsening shortness of breath are signs to get checked early rather than wait.
