I've been dealing with wheezing and a cold since last night. I took azithromycin 500 and a tablet with serratiopeptidase and diclofenac sodium, but now the wheezing has gotten worse. Should I consider taking methylprednisolone to help with the wheezing?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He caught covid recently and while he's out of quarantine now, his ctscan score is 1225 and his oxygen level is only at 85. The doctor said he needs to be hospitalized and get some remdesivir treatment, but we can't find an available bed in any hospital nearby. His doctor also mentioned fabiflu tablets, vitamin C, zincovit, and hydroxychloroquine. Is it super urgent to get him into a hospital with these numbers? Or is it possible to manage his treatment at home somehow?
