Question 1

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. We've been checking her spo2 levels since August using a pulse oximeter, and while the rest of my family stays above 95, hers fluctuates between 89 and 92. It's October now, and the readings haven't changed much. I'm worried about what might be causing this and if it's indicative of any particular health issue. Could this be something serious?

Question 3

I'm worried about my dad because he's been dealing with this really bad fever, cough, and phlegm for over a week now. The doctor said it's BronchoPneumonia after looking at his test results. His CRP was 225, and both his chest x-ray results showed increased bronchovascular markings and prominent hila in the lungs. He's been on Augmentin 625 for five days, which seems to help since his fever dropped to 99 and CRP is now 51, but the x-ray looks the same. Is it normal for the x-ray not to show improvement yet? Should I be worried about something else, and how long does it usually take to see changes in the x-ray?
