My brother's CT scan shows a COVID pneumonia severity score of 18 out of 25, and it's marked as CORADS 5. He's been on several medications since May 3, 2021, including Nintena 100, Happi D, Wysolone 20, and some antibiotics like Microcef O and Sazidox. Prednisolone seems to be a part of it too, and I'm worried about the combination and if we're missing anything. Could you help me understand if all these meds are right for his condition and if there's anything else we should be doing for him?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been a welder for years, and lately, he's been dealing with a cough and black phlegm for about two weeks now. We got him tested for COVID and it's negative, thank goodness, but I'm starting to wonder if these symptoms might be linked to his work. Could it be some kind of occupational respiratory disorder? What should we do next?

Patient is advised chest x-ray pa view and sputum for AFB bacilli and microscopy tests.
