One thing most people miss is that the finger should be warm when measuring. Just hold that finger in your fist to warm it up nicely before measuring. I had panicked last year because I did everything he mentioned, and still my oxygen levels seemed dangerously low. Immediately I ran to a clinic and the doctor was like, warm your finger nicely and check again. Every time I warmed it, it showed normal levels only. Felt like a fool that day for panicking without knowing how to use it.

Thanks Dr. I’d like to mention two more common mistakes patients make and often get a wrong reading- 1. The measuring finger must not be cold, as it gives a lower reading. 2. Check the battery level. If you’re and your SpO2 is 99, and drops within seconds to 60- such abrupt changes are often due dysfunctional oxymeter owing to low battery.

And avoid cold foods, tell her to remain positive, positivity plays an important role. This really helps, and give her good food, don't let her skip meals. If saturation goes below 90, then consult doctor asap, but i think she'll be alright if she has crossed 15 days of covid.
