I'm currently pregnant and dealing with COPD. I've been advised to use Foracort 400 Rotacaps twice a day throughout my pregnancy, but I'm worried about whether it's safe for the baby. Could you give me some guidance on this?

I'm really worried and confused. My husband tested positive for COVID-19 after his third RTPCR test. We consulted three different doctors, and now his HRCT chest scan shows mild involvement with a score of 625. Can he recover at home with medication? Every doctor seems to have a different opinion, and Im not sure which advice to follow. What should I do?

I'm really worried because about six months ago, I had a medical test for a job in the Gulf and they said I was unfit. They found an opacity in the mid-zone on the right side of my chest. I'm trying to understand what this means and if there's any medical treatment I can do to handle this issue. Could you please help me with some advice on what steps I should take?
