He should keep taking the medicines and regularly monitor his oxygen levels. Complete recovery of lungs post covid may take anywhere between 3 months to 1 year. It is must to do breathing exercises including 3 ball spirometry. If oxygen levels fall more at any point, consult a doctor to get the necessary investigations done.
