POST covid health deterioration

Question

Asked for Female, 75 Years

My Grand mother had severe Covid and was in hospital for 15 days. She was discharged on 2nd may with SPO2 as 92 on oxygen support 2l/min. Ever since coming back from hospital her oxygen levels are dropping. Even at high flow it is coming at 84/85 and removing mask for even some time takes it down to 60. What should we do? She has been home for 5 days now.
