My son has severe cold but not fever

2025-09-01 18:36:43
My son has severe cold, fast breathing and his oxygen levels are fluctuating between 92 and 95. He is eating his food, sleeping well, occasionally coughing, otherwise super active as usual, per doctors advise we have started antibiotics. Doctors asked us to get him admitted if his O2 is below 94, please advise.
