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 recently got a chest x-ray for a job, and the results mentioned something about increased right basal marking pneumonitis, non-specific. Ive had asthma since I was a kid, and now I'm worried if these results are connected to that. Could I be developing pneumonitis, and what steps should I take next? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

possible infection do consult pulmonologist
