(2,000 posts)My cousin was admitted the day after the ER sent her home.
She returned the next day, was admitted and then lost consciousness for 2 days. After her fever broke they weaned her off oxygen, and kept her to make sure she was stable and breathing ok. It was just as hospitals started to get overwhelmed from this Delta surge in FL, late July. Meanwhile her boyfriend and son were home sick with it. Her son recovered, but the bf was still sick when she was released after 10 days.
She convinced him to go to hospital, he was put on oxygen, they kept him 4-5 days, released him the minute his oxygen levels hit 95. They didn't care if he was stable because they needed the bed. He still feels like crap. So does my cousin. Her son, late 30's, went back to work.
I hope your son recovers. I feel compelled to say this: Keep checking on him, he may need to go back to the ER. Oxygen levels can drop causing confusion and irrational behavior before causing further harm, and covid pneumonia is also a thing I've heard about. Many hospitals are overwhelmed by this surge. Sending healing thoughts.
Please keep us posted.
