After getting over COVID-19 and being in the hospital for 5 days, I'm still feeling pretty tired and sometimes I find it hard to catch my breath. Should I think about going back to the hospital, or is it better to just stick with my medication and wait it out?

I'm really worried about how to manage my loved one's recovery from Covid. Their oxygen levels are mostly stable around 90, but whenever they start coughing, it drops really low to around 82 or 83. What can I do to help get rid of this cough? And are there any specific foods or things that can help boost their oxygen levels and ease the cough a bit?
