After taking the medicine, in the afternoon of the same day, Mr. NVL had a rash all over his body, suspected to be due to a drug allergy, so he went to the commune health station for first aid. However, Mr. L. then fainted, so his family continued to take him to Gia Lai General Hospital for emergency treatment, but he died.
