Hi
CT finding can be there for some time but the good thing is that his oxygen level has not worsened Jus keep a watch on his symptoms like oxygenation,fever We rely on symptomatic improvement more than CT findings
Thankyou

Recovery depends on symptoms not on CT score as ct changes very late but if symptomatically if patient feels better then treatment is in right direction.

Changes in lungs due to covid infection will take 3-4 months to resolve. Once his oxygen saturation improves and off the oxygen support. He will be fine. And ct score will come down over the period of 3-4 months don't worry about it.
