Oxygen level going down

2021-06-04 10:27:01
My 5 months pregnant wife is Covid positive. She is asthemtic too. She was diagnosed Covid positive on 29May. Her oxygen level fell to 87 after she woke up with lots of heavy coughing and breathlessness. Then she took Budesal nebulization and then her oxygen level starts improving. During the day time the oxygen level is maintained at ~94-95. Temperature is also maintained around 99 after 3 times intake of Crocin. She is also taking Allegra 120, Ceftum 500, Medrol 8mg. Should we think of admitting her to hospital considering her low oxygen levels in morning? We care currently using 2l oxygen through oxygen concentrator. Thanks

In my opinion her oxygen levels are considerably low, even after 2litres of o2, it’s an emergency requirement to take direct consultation with COVID speciality doctors and admit if required immediately..if not done yet

Keep monitoring saturation and temperatures
