Post covid bronchitis is very common. Fluctuating oxygen levels are expected during recovery. Don't worry. As long as your oxygen levels are above 90 you have nothing to worry.
Next Steps
Deep breathing exercises and Pranayama
High protein diet and hydrate well
Health Tips
Do not do steam inhalation
Avoid spicy food and cold drinks
