I was covid positive and just got a negative test result on May 22nd. My SR value was 16.44. I didnt really have any big issues, just a little fever and body pain. But now, even after a month, my oxygen levels have dropped from 98 to 94 and they're not going up. Should I be worried? What should I do?

I'm really worried about my dad. About 70 days ago, he had corona and needed oxygen therapy at home because his saturation levels were low. For the past 13 days, he hasn't needed oxygen support, and his spo2 levels have mostly been between 94-97. But sometimes when we check, it shows below 90, though it usually goes back to normal above 94 within a few minutes. We're thinking about returning the oxygen cylinder, but I'm concerned. Is there a chance his levels could drop again, and should I be worried about it?

Continue oxygen therapy and saturated is monitored regularly.

My dad's been dealing with night fevers and body aches for over a month now, like 40 days, and we've done all sorts of tests but haven't found anything concrete. His chest X-ray didn't show much, and the sputum report came back normal. The doctor mentioned that in the second stage of TB, changes can be subtle and hard to catch on X-rays and sputum tests, so he started the second line of TB drugs based on a CECT Scan. I've consulted a few other doctors, and after looking at the report and scan, they're suggesting it might be a reactivation of tuberculosis. Could you take a look at this and tell me if this report is solid enough to confirm TB?

yes through cect lung ,we can detect tuberculosis
