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 having trouble with shortness of breath when I'm talking and especially after walking up the stairs. This has been going on for about three days now, and it feels like I'm under a lot of stress just to breathe. It's almost like what Id imagine an asthma attack to feel like. I've never dealt with anything like this before. What could be causing this sudden difficulty in breathing, and should I be worried?

might be due to asthma or reduced blood

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having fever, weakness, and a cough, and we're concerned because his CRP levels are pretty high at 48 mg, and his hemoglobin is really low, just 5.4 mg. The local doctor mentioned it's a chest infection and recommended antibiotics along with glucose. I'm not sure how serious this might be or if there might be other treatment options we should consider. Can you help us understand what might be going on and what steps we should take next?

go head with antibiotics and consult physician for anemia
