I'm having real trouble with breathing, a sharp pain in my chest, and I've lost my appetite. I was told it might be gastritis, but honestly, I don't think that's it because the meds aren't helping at all. Could it be something else? What should I do?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been battling COVID since the start of April, and while she was officially diagnosed on the 7th via an RTPCR test, she's had all sorts of symptoms like fever, loose motion, cold, dry cough, chest pain, and even some trouble breathing. We did a chest CT scan and an echo test before the RTPCR, and those showed moderate pneumonia with a CT score of 925. After getting treatment in the hospital with stuff like multivitamins, vitamin C, doxycycline, ceftriaxone, pantoprazole, and enoxaparin injections for 6-7 days, she seems better and she's been discharged. But now she's still having a bit of a cough and some loose motion, like 2-3 times a day. I'm really keen to know what kind of post-COVID treatment or tests she might need. What should we be careful about while she's recovering? Is there anything specific we should watch out for or any medications she should continue with?
continue multivitamin tablet for 15 days, no need of any tests

I'm a bit confused about the steam from nebulizers. I recently got the Dr. Trust nebulizer, and it gives off cold steam. Isn't the steam supposed to be hot? The evaporation of the medicine seems to work fine according to the manual, but I'm still concerned if this is normal. Could you help clarify this for me?
For a nebulizer like Dr. Trust, the steam provided should be a fine, cool mist, not hot steam, as cool mist is more comfortable to inhale and helps prevent irritation to the airways, so the cold steam produced by your nebulizer is appropriate and effective for delivering medication.
