Corona Positive
My father in law has been tested positive four days ago. He is feeling very weak and even if he is walking for four to 5 steps he is feeling breathlessness. Until yesterday his oxygen levels were 97 but from midnight it is fluctuating between 94 and 95 . Do we have to admit it is the condition critical. Please advise

O2 levels of 94-95 is not alarming.
First of all he should be courageous and believe that he would come out . Fear is the enemy and killing most people.
Along with nutritious food he should take Electrol liquid-3-4 litres daily
He should do breathing exercises twice daily to improve his O2 levels for about half an hour.
At present no need for hospitalisation.
