Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, the likely drop in saturation might be because of lung infection, and temporary as well as reversible. It's better to remain admitted as indoor patient with oxygen support until infection can be controlled with antibiotics and supportive therapy. Meanwhile daily X-ray and blood gases monitoring might be needed. Inflammatory markers as well as blood counts may be needed too to monitor the progression.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
