I'm really worried about my dad. He was discharged from the hospital about 10 days ago and he's still on 2 liters of oxygen because his left lung got pretty damaged from COVID. I'm wondering how long he might need to stay on oxygen. If we take it off for about 30 minutes, his saturation levels drop to 80-85, should we be concerned? How long do you think it'll take for him to recover?

he might be having chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, there's no particular time for him to quit oxygen. he might need it for years

I've been having trouble breathing and I'm worried it might be because of tar clotting in my lungs. Is there any way to get rid of that tar buildup?

Tar buildup in the lungs, often due to smoking, can cause breathing difficulties. While it can't be fully "removed" like foreign objects, quitting smoking and adopting healthy habits like deep breathing exercises, a nutritious diet, and sometimes medications can help improve lung function and reduce further damage. Consulting a pulmonologist is crucial for tailored treatment.
