SPO2 Levels
Hi my son is 2.5 yrs old. He was having cold n cough from few days back. I had taken him to pediatrician and it was diagnosed as WALRI. He was put on clayrithromycin and nebulization treatment. Today is 3rd day of medication. I just wanted to check his SPO2 levels but it's fluctuating between 89-92. Few times it's showing as 95-96. Readings are taken while kid is sleeping bcoz he won't allow us to check when he is awake. Please advise on SPO2 fluctuations and what to do

Could be bcos of phlegm in the airways. It will settle down with treatment. You may nebulize him and encourage him to cough
