Oxygen saturation below 94 % is a sign for urgent medical attention. Kindly hospitalize and seek a CT scan to understand the pneumonia in lungs. He will need oxygen support to allow the lungs to rest and heal properly.
Next Steps
please seek urgent medical attention and hospitalization.

SpO2 level 94% and above is acceptable less that is a signal of risk... 89 is much lower than the acceptable limit.. What is the age of the patient ?
Next Steps
arrange oxygenation at home if possible...get HRCT Chest, D-Dimer test, CRP test done along with blood for cbc and fasting sugar..
Health Tips
if oxygenation cant be arranged at home patient needs to be hospitalized for care under medical supervision..
