My dad tested positive for COVID and his oxygen levels went really low, all the way to 71. After spending two weeks in the hospital, hes back home now, but its been a month and his oxygen levels are still all over the place. Does this mean he hasnt fully recovered yet? Im worried and not sure what to do next. Could you please give some advice on how to move forward?

I've been dealing with some breathing issues for about a week now, and I'm starting to get really worried. There's this constant noise when I breathe out, and I've been coughing up thick white mucus. It's getting really uncomfortable. Could this excessive mucus production be something serious? And what can I do about it? Would love to hear your thoughts.
