My brother's CT scan shows a COVID pneumonia severity score of 18 out of 25, and it's marked as CORADS 5. He's been on several medications since May 3, 2021, including Nintena 100, Happi D, Wysolone 20, and some antibiotics like Microcef O and Sazidox. Prednisolone seems to be a part of it too, and I'm worried about the combination and if we're missing anything. Could you help me understand if all these meds are right for his condition and if there's anything else we should be doing for him?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 75 and dealing with diabetes and low blood pressure. Recently, he had some intense chest and back pain, and when he was admitted to the hospital, the doctors told us it was pneumonia with a lung infection. He spent six days in the ICU before moving to the IT ward three days ago. Now, the doctors are saying the infection might be back and they think he needs to go back to the ICU. I'm trying to find a specialist who can give us more insight. What could be causing this infection to return, and how can we make sure he's getting the best care?

I'm a bit worried about my mom's mountox test results. It showed some induration with measurements of 15mm and 18mm. I'm not sure what these numbers mean. Should we be looking at starting some kind of treatment?
