hi
I am sorry to hear about your mums illness.oxygen sats of 93% with 3 l oxygen is not a very good sign.it would be worth knowing how much she desaturate on stopping oxygen.ideally she should be managed in monitored envoirment but saying this looking at state of hospitals in Pakistan I can't say that is the best place at present provided you can cont to keep her on oxygen till she is able to maintain these sats on room air.Clearly there is not much role of medication though as you would have heard dexamethasone may have some clinical benefit in such group of patients if given for short duration.Microthrombi and IV coagulation is unfortunate sequel of COVID sec to chemicals released by immune system.if she has been found to have DVT she need to be either on blood thinning injections like clean /fragmin that are given according to weight of patient or NOAC in form of tablets like apixaban , adoxaban or rivoroxabran can be used. but please read risk benefits and side effects before using them .I part for speedy recovery of your mother
regards
Kashif
