Relative in hospital with covid pneumonia. Last day of remdesevir use tomorrow and then only dealing with inflammation. High flow O2 70% environment decreased to 40% environment. Has anyone dealt with this before? Please any advice is helpful. This seems like a good sign but would like to know about similar experiences thank you.

I got over covid pneumonia a couple weeks ago, but mine seemed to be much less severe. I was about 89% 02 when I went to ER. If I knew I could get monoclonal antibodies at walk-in, I would've went there. They gave me an O2 cylinder and I started on 3L/min and gradually reduced as needed. I felt immediately better, but not 100%. Also did Remdesivir, which I didn't want and steroids. I asked about mono antibodies after I was admitted, not knowing they are only outpatient. I took 4 doses of remdesivir. The studies where people had bad reactions used 10 doses (10 days). I was in the hospital 5 days, but really could've went home with an O2 cylinder on the first day, but I believe they kept me only because the protocol now is 5 days remdesivir, which the doctor stopped at 4 days after reviewing blood work. Did 5 more days of steroids at home. In the hospital I had a mostly normal diet with 3 meals per day and drank lots of water.
