Do HRCT of chest and find out the CT score

Consult your family doctor as soon as possible. If saturation goes below 94 then patient might need admission. Monitor her oxygen saturation properly.

Yes , get a chest x Ray done, and start medications for her, as her oxygen saturation is normal, there is nothing to worry, once the medicines are started , she will be fine in 10 days
