Brief Answer:
The cause of the condition must be found and treated
Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
No treatment is necessary to directly increase the oxygen levels… support helps to tide over, until the problem causing it is treated….
It will improve by itself if the cause is treated – generally a lung disorder. / at times heart / rarely other causes. If the original cause is not treatable, permanent home oxygen support may be necessary in some people (disease like Cor Pulmonale is a example). Continued observation of pulmonary function is necessary till then…
Good luck
God bless you
