Breathing exercises are important. Start very slow but do not skip them. Try to eat good healthy food.
93% O2 is not ideal, avoid exertion and keep monitoring until he is able to maintain >=95% in room air. Thereafter, measure O2 after 3-6 minutes walk.
Keep a close eye on sugar levels now as we are seeing many cases of infections in diabetic individuals.
Next Steps
Plan for HRCT to check damage to lungs. Medications may be required.
