I've been feeling breathless while sleeping since my minor fracture surgery on my left leg at Nulife Hospital last week. During the operation, all my reports were clear. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?

My mom was on oxygen support for about a week, ranging from 284 to 55. Her HRCT score was 1825, which later dropped to 1525. When she was discharged, her O2 level was at 93, but it hasn't improved since. It even drops when she has other health issues like diarrhea. Any suggestions on a good treatment plan to help get her oxygen level back to normal?
do some breathing exercises and do yoga

I'm dealing with a viral flu and it's been about two days now. I visited my doctor today, and he mentioned I've got a bit of wheezing on top of everything. He suggested I take Pulmoclear tablets twice daily, once in the morning and once at night, for a week, alongside the antibiotics I'm already on. I've never taken Pulmoclear before and it's my first time experiencing wheezing. Is this medication safe for me? I'm pretty anxious about trying something new and don't know how my body will react or if it's going to work well for me. Could you give me some advice?
Continue tab.pulmoclear oraly ,twice daily for 5 days.Rest continue all the medications.
