Family friend's baby got covid and has asthma. It has now developed into pneumonia. He is only about 6 months old. Last i heard today the doctor is considering putting him on steroids. I know the protocol that adults should follow, but i dont know anything about treatment for babies. I am afraid for them for what these doctors will do, any info on proper treatments would be appreciated!

If the baby has pneumonia, all of these methods can/should be done at the same time:
Albuterol nebulization will open the airways. Nebulization can be done with O2.
Steroids will help with inflammation of the airway
Pneumonia is treated with antibiotics. This is done whether or not it has a viral or bacterial cause.
