I've been hearing mixed things about steaming and its effectiveness for people affected by corona. Some sources like blogs and newspapers say it doesn't help at all, while debates on news channels and YouTube videos also suggest it's not beneficial. I'm really confused and concerned. Could you shed some light on whether steaming is actually useful for someone dealing with corona?

My husband has been experiencing episodes of sighing and breathing difficulty. A month ago, it seemed to come and go, but recently it's gotten worse. We finally saw a doctor who said he has bronchitis, even though his ECG, sugar, and most test results were normal, apart from a bit of chest congestion and a high TLC indicating some infection. He's on Augmentin, montair fx, and Pantop D now, plus an inhaler. Im concerned because hes still sighing and Im just wondering if this is normal as he starts treatment. His oxygen saturation is at 97-98. Should I be worried or is there anything else we should be doing to help him get better?

Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice
