I'm really worried about my dad. His oxygen saturation has been stuck at 88 for the last five days, even though he's on 5L oxygen at the hospital. The CT scan showed these ground glass opacities in his lungs, and he's taking pirfenidone, along with formonide and combimiat. What should we expect next? Is there anything else we can do to help improve his condition?
