After more than two hours of resuscitation, the patient's condition stabilized, pulse improved and now the patient's health is stable again.

Dr. Hoang Thanh Binh, Head of the Emergency Department, Shing Mark University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, recommends that people be cautious when buying and using food, especially confectionery of unknown origin. Especially if you have a history of food allergies, you should inform the seller and carefully check the ingredients of the product before eating.

When unusual symptoms such as rash, itching, difficulty breathing, nausea, abdominal pain... appear, go to the nearest medical facility immediately.
