Hi,
The CT scan report is suggestive of pneumonia. I suggest you to stop taking steroids and take a course of suitable antibiotic like azithromycin or clarithromycin along with a mucolyte such as bromohexine or guaefenesin.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
