I'm feeling a bit anxious about my oxygen levels. After having COVID, I've noticed they fluctuate quite a bit. For example, when I check with a pulse oximeter, it sometimes shows 92 on one finger and 97 on another. What could be causing such a difference? Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal for oxygen levels to act like this after recovering from COVID?

My dad was diagnosed with TB a couple of weeks ago, and hes been on the medication for about 10 days now. But for the last two days, hes been coughing up a little blood mixed with sputum. What should we do about this?

Dont worry its due to activeness of the disease, will subside as you proceed with treatment, take cough suppressing syrups as of now.
