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?

I'm dealing with severe cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath, and I have to keep taking duolin and budecort respules, but they only seem to work for about 4 hours before the symptoms start again. What should I do or try to get longer relief?

Duolin respules every 6th hourly and budesonide every 12th hourly is advised to the patient.
