I'm really worried about my husband. After having COVID, he's been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, and his CT scan shows about 40-50% damage. Is there a better treatment available for this condition, and is it possible for him to fully recover? What complications should we be prepared for? He's currently using oxygen support at night, and his SpO2 level is around 93. How long might it take for him to improve?

Is it dangerous if my dad's oxygen saturation is swinging between 81 and 93? He's suspected to be COVID positive, but he doesn't have any breathing problem. He's normal otherwise while we're waiting for his PCR test results. Should he be on certain medication or something?

Low oxygen saturation between 81-93% can be concerning, even if he's not feeling breathless. It's important to monitor him closely while awaiting the PCR results. If his oxygen levels continue to stay low or worsen, he may need supplemental oxygen or further medical care, so it's best to consult with his doctor for advice.
