Chest Infection
Last week I took my father for HRCT Scan and found infection in lungs. We consulted a doctor and started medicines like Doxycycline, Vitamin C and D3, Zinc, Steam, Gargle and everything. Last week his oxygen level was around 92-93 and currently his SPO2 level is 93-94. How do we improve his SPO2 level as he is not having breathing issues as of now. What should we do and how should we continue the treatment?
