My dad has been Covid positive for about three weeks now, and he only had mild symptoms so far. But his recent X-ray shows a small pneumonic patch in the right mid and both lower zones. The doctor is suggesting a three-day injection course. Does this sound serious given his Covid status? His oxygen levels are still normal, so Im wondering if there's a specific treatment we should consider.

I'm having trouble with breathing and have been using Seroflo but recently switched to Foromonide Rotocap. Can you help me understand how these two differ? I'm curious if there are specific advantages or anything important I should know about using Formonide compared to Seroflo.

Seroflo (Salmeterol + Fluticasone) and Formonide (Formoterol + Budesonide) are both combination inhalers that help manage asthma and COPD symptoms. They both contain a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) and a corticosteroid. Formonide might act faster due to the Formoterol but both medications provide long-term relief when used regularly
