send all this report to me and take online consultation
ct-scan will give you detailed info as compared to X-ray.
but x-ray is also ok.
add multivitamins (specifically vitamin c and d ) in his diet
stop azomax not recommended Sulzon also not recommended so stop where are the latest reports also u forget attach the xray

His x-ray is not quite clear and he has cough ,his fever got back and he has ox saturation is above 90 but it went down to 87 now it's back to above 90. I am not with him that is why I can't share his x-ray. He is on steroids now , decadron. I feel helpless

My post was approved after 3 days.His symptoms got better but I think it was due to steroids.the moment that stopped he is feeling very weak.
