Breathing Problem

2021-05-09 15:40:39
My mother tested positive for covid a week back. She is having trouble breathing. But her O2 level on oxymeter is showing 98. We also got a CT Scan done but the reports were normal and severity score was 0/25. We consulted a doctor and got her on some medication, but she says that she is still having problem in breathing. Why is this happening? what should I do?
