Regarding covid spo2 level
My friend was covid positive, Today is 18 day of covid positive. He was given antiviral and steroids on 7-10 day of positive. On 11 day his saturation falls below 92. On 11 day his hrct score was 16. He was admitted with supportive oxygen. Dr have given 5-6 dose of remdesivir. Now he is stable. External oxygen support is also removed. But now his saturation varies from 82-85. My question is when will his saturation will become normal. Whether he is out of danger? Any more treatment is required? Pls. Reply
Thanks in advance.
