I've had bronchial asthma for the past 15 years and use an inhaler regularly. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Montair 10 for the rest of my life. Are there any side effects if I keep taking it long-term? Could you give me some advice on this?

I'm just a bit worried about my dad. He was positive for covid19 on December 3rd but thankfully tested negative by the 20th. Even though he's active and not complaining much, we decided to do a HRCT chest scan to be cautious. The results showed subpleural ground glass opacities in his bilateral lower lung lobes with a CT Severity Score of 0625 and Corads 4. He's been taking B complex, Vitamin C, and Vit D 60k for the next 20 days. Should we consider any other medications for him? Just trying to ensure we're not overlooking anything important.

the above medicines are sufficient just to boost his immunity
